can you get a diagnostic check to see what as failed the xenon bulb or the ballast and how much if you can. do you reccomend anyone cheers:

Why dont you swap the bulb into the other ballast and if the bulb works its the ballast, if it doesnt, then its not.
Then use the saved money to buy a new part?

Diagnostics won't check this. As mentioned, trial and error is the best way

Don't forget to check that stupidly placed relay thing under the glovebox. My left headlight kept going off for no reason. Fiddled about with the relay and it works fine now

Naa, there's a good website that sells them, but i cant remeber it?

However, its really a bumper off job to remove the bulbs / ballast

They certainly are pal, I have a set of those in mine as do several others. Colour wise you can choose what temperature you want.
