Bulb for bi-xenon headlight (and fitting)

[Gnasher]

It seems that it's best you check the bulb type before you order, as Autobulbs and Powerbulbs show different types.

Or alternatively you could take the word of someone who's swapped out the bulbs and actually knows what type of bulbs they are.

Thanks so much for all your help and suggestions. It's what make this forum so good

Get this, just had a call back from my local VW dealer. They said the xenon bulb is covered under warranty so will replace FOC. Result!

Funny as I was just in the process of translating 'itavaltalainen' German pdf self-help guide on how to change a xenon DS3 bulb without taking the bumper off!

Phew

Glad it's under warranty - I suppose that it's different from a normal bulb as the life expectancy of a xenon bulb is so much longer than a halogen one. Wonder if the LED tails/fromt fogs are the same?

Surprised they cover under warranty on a car that is at least getting near the 3 year old mark..... happy days thou if they do 

[fredgroves]

I'm surprised they'd do anything under warranty for a blown bulb!

But nice to see someone is winning on the warranty claim front!

Yes I do feel like I'm winning (for once).

It's booked into my local VW dealer to be fixed under warranty this coming Friday. Still pinching myself. But won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

It's my MOT next day too. Double win (as it would have failed otherwise)!!

Thanks again for all you help and guidance. Invaluable.

I had a bi-xenon go on my Polo and was done under warranty, ironically they put it in and the other side blew so both done

I've always changed bulbs in pairs after a mk4 I had kept blowing a tail light. Once the pair were changed it didn't blow them again.

Just as an aside, my xenon keeps going on and off (3-4 mins on),then a few seconds off (low beam). No dash warnings. Could it be a faulty bulb or the ignitor? Any ideas!!

Similar to how mine started it then got worse
