You maybe able to get it under warranty mate as xenon bulbs are supposed to last for years.

they are about £100 a bulb so if its under warrenty get it that way, could also be a ballast problem or something similar

im pretty sure there are only covered by 1 years warranty and not the full....
but just ask renault anyway.....and there are bloody expensive.

 

[V1NNY]

xenons should last approx 3-5 times longer than a normal halogen bulb

I was told the bulbs have a life time gaurntee

 

[roadrunner_182]

cheers for the info people!

"I'm sorry sir but your bulbs lifetime is over - that is why it's broken. So the guarantee is no longer valid" :dead:

 

[V1NNY]

lol, no garantee on bulbs

 

[Leeshez]

Well i bought a set of spare bulbs for when i go to france and i asked about the xenon bulbs and thats what he told me, but this is the stealership what takes 4 times trying to fix a problem. So i did not belive him.

 

[roadrunner_182]

so chances are they aint under warranty - gutted i aint paying £100 + for a friggin bulb lol

it aint a bulb, it's a discharge chamber and it's could be a ballast/ignitor problem, silly question but have you checked fuses etc...?

 

[Fletcher]

I herd that they were around the £120 mark. I would have thought the bulb should still be going strong though, strange?

 

[roadrunner_182]

no mate i plan on checking all other avenues after work!
