IIRC I got a second hand light unit on ebay and swapped the whole unit. Try our sponsors and ebay first

I had the same problem when the ballast went. Could also be the igniter behind the bulb, but the ballast is most likely. Took me an hour to swap on the passenger side, headlight didn't have to come out.
They're not that expensive. I think this is it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Hella-...wAAOSwI-BWHqI2 edit: sorry that one is for D3 not D2 don't know if they're the same.

Out of curiosity, did the ballast fix it ? I'm just asking because I've been having the same problem for a while. Mine seems to be much worse when it's cold weather than it does when it's warm.

They're actually not that tricky to strip down completely
The control units changed from separate parts mounted in the inner wings to combined units from 2001 - early ones the left one comes out via the wheel arch liner, the right you have to take the headlight out and it's bolted to a panel underneath From 2001 the units are screwed to the sides of the headlights. Does it throw a fault code with the light not coming on? If it's J343 or J434 then it's the control unit. If it throws N195 it's the starter unit buried inside the headlight pdfs attached  Adrian
