Help with Xenon!

[tscotty81]

just got found out that my drivers side Xenon has blown and was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it will cost to replace and if there are any cheaper roots than goin to renault?

cheers

How has it blown?

Xenons are something that I've often had issues with. You need to try swapping parts over between the working light, and the one that doesn't work, to eliminate what has gone wrong.

It may well be though that taking it apart, and putting it back together again cures it, like it has done with me so often.

Don't go to Renault as they will charge you the earth (as always). I got mine from a website called Autobulbs - HID D2S Gas Discharge Bulbs 6000K

They cost me bout £70 for the pair but you can get them cheaper or more expensive. I fitted them myself as a garage would charge you a lot!!

Try them mate nice and cheap and they work a treat had them on my car for over 12 months and have no problems what so ever, really good value for money

Unplug the wire that goes into the ignitor on the back of the lamp, its at the top and slides in.

Then replug it in and see if it works, if it does then the ignitor has gone, and is easy to change

cheers guys really appreciate the advise

would i have to change them both so they match or will the 6000k one be the same as the standard renault xenon bulb that is in?

Most likely a different colour tbh

The standard OEM is 4300k iirc

Personally, I would change them both as the other one could go the next week! 6K will still have an OEM look but has a slightly blue-er light which I think looks really nice!
