Stop retro fitting HID kits to halogen headlights you fool. Don't you know they aren't fit for purpose and you blind everyone else on the road?

The DFT in the UK realised this and ruled the practice illegal unless you change the entire housing unit. You will fail your MOT, but more importantly, you are being a selfish ****.

Just get decent halogen bulbs you numpty!!

Just a thought, behind the front bumper are the securing hardware. Bumper needs to be removed so you can access the fasteners.

Lt. headlight low beam wont work after replacing the bulb.

I assume it didn't work before you changed the bulb either. You'll have to check for voltage at the bulb socket when the low beam headlights are turned on. If there is none you'll have to trace the wire back to where it splits from the right low beam headlight. If there is voltage there you have a problem with the new bulb.

Xenon headlight problems

there are 3 things that make the xenon in your car work the bulb, an ignitor, and a control module, you know your bulbs are ok so thats good, now you will want to swap the control modules they are a metal box attached to the headlight assembly its roughly 4"x4" you will remove the hheadlight assemblys to get to the module, there are 4 8mm bolts and then it pulls out, it the light follows the control module then thats what you will need if not you will need an ignigtor, as far as the flickering that is moet likely the module going bad, the company that makes this system is AL (automotive lighting) there is an SIB from BMW about this that says under a warr claim both control modules are to be replaced and the bulb of the faulty headlight, however i cant count the number of times i have done all that and still have to replace the ignigtor, If it is the Ign that is alot harder to swap as you have to dis assembly the entire light assembly
