the Driver's side dipped headlight on my passat has died. It's got the optional HID light kit, so I was going to swap the bulbs over tonight to try to see if it was the bulb or the ballast, but when I removed the plug for the dodgy light it looks rather melted around the contacts... So I'm guessing it's probably a new bulb
and ballast now...
I've looked all over the place for a straight OEM replacement. I don't particularly want to get a cheap one from Hong kong on Ebay, but I can't find anywhere that will just sell a straight swap one... and I have a feeling that if I have to get a new bulb and ballast from VW I may as well buy some complete new headlight units which use normal bulbs or something
So anyone know where I can buy one - or can anyone recommend a cheap but decent kit that I could fit fairly easily? If a new kit, then I guess I'll have to replace both sides....
Oh, and I need to do this pronto! Got pulled for not having a headlight on Friday, so I need to get it fixed within the next 4-5 days or so to make sure I can get the thing posted back to them!
