xenons still not fixed

[hopey-182]

ok had the bumper of recently swapped parts around with parts of the side that workes theres nothing wrong with the bulb or the small black power pack on the side that doesnt work. im cheesed of with the fact that i had the bumper of and its still not sorted i really dont want to pay someone to sort it as its so easy to remove the bumper. am i right in saying that the only other thing it could be is the ballast can you get second hand ones any advice on my next move thanks.

did you check the fuse?

 

[JCC]

Why didn't you swap the ballast over while you were there to check if it's that?

 

[syko6288]

Swap the black packs on rear of bulb and the silver ballast attached to headlight

Check fuse also

 

[hopey-182]

its not the fuse i know jcc cant believe i didnt check the ballast if i remember right me and my m8 thought it looked a bit tricky so we didnt bother is it easy to remove

 

[JCC]

It has 2/3 small screws holding it in place on the headlight then it simply pulls off, piece of piss.

thanks for the replys jcc so with this problem its normally the bulb ballast or ignitor-power pack am i right.

Don't keep taking the bumper off. Everyone say's you need to yet i swapped my Xenon bulb's this weekend and managed to do it without undoing a single bolt, wasn't even that hard tbf, just a little fiddly.

where would this relay be on a lhd car?, had a look behind the glovebox , but nothing there, and no room for anything at the rear of the pedals.
I have the same problem rhd xenon not working.
