Xenon Headlight Issue
 

Here's my original question below, Since posting this I have ordered a new Ballast. I hear they commonly go out. So, we'll see!




Hi everyone,

I noticed the other night that my passenger side (xenon) headlight was out. I bought a new Xenon Bulb (all correct matching part numbers and specs). I just installed it and the headlight still doesn't work. I checked all fuses associated with lighting and everything is fine there. Any ideas folks? Any help would be very appreciated!!!

*Possibly Helpful Side Note: The Halo lights and parking/turn signal light all still work.

Follow up with results. It does sound like ballast. All the other items run from standard power. Typical trouble shooting would be to swap the part from he other side and also check for 12/14v on the input to the ballast. (I have two 2001 x5s and can swap between cars to troubleshoot)

Bad ballast. You have to remove the headlight to get it, if you wanted to get more into it you can swap the ballast and see if it switches sides
