Need help quick!!

[JLister]

Right I'm about 20 miles from home and my headlights have stopped working. I've got xenon headlights on a 182 and I've checked the fuse and it's fine. Please help ASAP!

Ballast, ignitor, bulbs themselves..could be costly.

 

[JLister]

Thing is they both went at same time :/

 

[Alan]

Is there any activity at all, do they flash or attempt to start up when you turn the stock manually, not on auto?

 

[Owen92]

Do they work when you pull the stalk to flash the main beam?

 

[JLister]

Everything else works, sidelights, indicators, full beam, just not dipped. And they were working perfectly fine earlier

 

[Owen92]

I know this isn't the right way if doing it but you are stuck 20miles away from home at gone midnight but personally I'd drive it home on main beams and then deal with it when you can actually see what you are doing.

 

[JLister]

That's what I am going to do, they're not stupidly bright anyway. But just worried about being pulled over.

 

[Alan]

As above, fire the main beam on, or sidelights and fog lights and get home. As for getting pulled, you can prove they aren't working.
