A Bit Of Help With A mk2 172

Car  FN2 Type R +MK6 Golf
A mate of mine has just bought a 172 and after a trip to the local jetwash cant get his xenons to work.

Any ideas...???
 
They don't work at all, in auto or manually?

I presume he's checked the fuses?
 
He says the fuses are ok,do you think they may have blown.

Also how do you get from auto to manual.Is it turning them on and off twice.Its been a while since i owned my clio's...

cheers.
 
Are there any seperate fuses anywhere or just the ones in the main fuse box (inside the passenger side door) that control the xenon's ?
 
You've got water in the electrics and the car's fucked :)

Failing that, check to see if the bulbs have blown, it's not unheard of dor them to blow at the same time.
 
Yep the headlights are individually fused.
Failing that the relay could have worked loose, do you hear the click when you switch the lights on?
 
i didnt think the bulbs blew, when i used to work at renault if the hid units got water in them they used to pack up
 
Stupid question alert - did you wash inside the engine bay?

There is no other way that the headlights/lamps could come into contact with water.
 
Thank you i will take the bulbs out tomorrow i have never had xenons before are they as obvious as normal bulbs if they are blown and do they sell them in halford's ect ?

Thanks
 
No, you can get aftermarket ones but from experience they're still about £40 each.
 
I thought someone would have made replacement ones by now...? ^^ sorry beat me to it
 
Just been out and taken the bulb out of the passanger side and i cant tell if they have blown is there any way of telling ?
 
No, it's a discharge lamp and will either work or not.

The only way to test it is to put it in a known working headlight.
 
would someone mind checking this item on ebay for me are these the right covers for the back of the head lights 260531751990
