Do xenon bulbs just go

[jenic]

Do they just stop producing light when they go or do they slowly get darker/pink?

One of mine has stopped but didn't deteriorate up until going, just now doesn't turn on.

Is it more likely to be the starter?

 

[The Boosh!]

They go pink. Then they go.

 

[jenic]

Hmmm, do they always do that?

Might try swapping the bulbs around tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like a starter problem. Unplug it and plug it back in again, normally does the trick for me.

From which side? The wiring side or bulb side?

Can I do it without removing the bumper?

You can, it's very fiddley for those of us with big hands though. Just unplug the green wire, push it back in till it clicks, and give it a wirl.

You're very welcome. I've had the same problem about 4 times now. Always in the pissing down rain.
