Intermittent O/S Headlight Failure

[dizzlebizzle]

Hi,

My D3 keeps having intermittent O/S headlight failure... sometimes when I start the car the headlight fault symbol is displayed and the headlight doesn't come on, and other times when I start the car the headlight comes on and there is no headlight fault symbol displayed.

Has anybody experienced this before? Does anybody have any recommendations on how to resolve the issue? Will just changing the bulb do it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Daniel

Swap the left and right bulbs to see if the fault moves, but it's more likely to be the ballast beginning to fail (I assume you have Xenons).

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

That makes sense. I will give it a try and see how i get on.

I believe it has Xenons...

I had the same but changing the bulbs fixed it. So if you're lucky, it's the bulbs

I'm just going to try changing the bulb first.

Has anybody produced a step by step guide with photos? I can't seem to find one by doing a search?

I'm quickly learning nothing is easy when it comes to these cars!
