I want my headlights on when driving!

stop driving with your lights on all the time. Since i'm assuming you literally drive all the time with your xenon's on, those bulbs probably have a decent amount of hours of life already logged on them, my guess, you had a misfire of the bulb going out (when you turned the lights off then on again, you effectively re-struck the ballasts and both bulbs ignited) or one is starting to show its age and went out on you.

HID bulb life is about 2000 hours, so even if you drive an hour a day with the lights on they are almost at the end of their life at 5.5 - 6 years.


If you find you need new xenon's, please do not buy Philips bulbs from sellers on ebay, unless you are buying Philips from The Retrofit Source (one of the last known genuine bulb distributors) or seller HIDbulbzrus (I know the name sounds funny, but the guy's dad is actually a contractor for Philips, so his son buys genuine pallets of bulbs from the factory.


From TRS, the bulbs will run you 95 bucks shipped for genuine 85122 bulbs, I paid 72 bucks from HIDbulbzrus and my fresh Philips are not only brighter, but they have a lot of life ahead of them!


EDIT: I'm assuming you have stock bulbs in there now right?
