Xenon Lights

My head light doesn't always come on, took it to bmw an they said its the ignition pack for the light, they want to charge me 90 pound just to have a look, has any1 had this problem with there lights

Ballast pack or LCM issue... Have a go at checking the wiring and fuses etc. Sometimes a dodgy or dry connection would cause it too, especially if its intermittant ;)

Ballast, buy one off eBay and replace mate...easy job

Thanks to the guys tha replied to my post, the guys at bmw say I shouldn't attempt to change bulbs or the pack myself cause it could kill me, personally myself I thought he was joking but looking at the the light it says 25.000 volts running to it, I'm by no means a mechanic, what do I do ?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Disconnect the battery ;)

BMW's rely heavily on the battery, so, bear this in mind when you do ANY work on it... Disconnect it !

When things start going funny, blame the battery first, then sensors or anything else !!!

Issues start popping up when the battery gets a bit tired :wacko:
