Headlights Turning Off

Post by TomHenman »

So whilst driving last night my headlights kept randomly turning off (turns out its the right projector light)
They will turn back on if I flick them off and on again, but within 30 seconds it will turn off again.
Any ideas?

HIDs?
I now Nick's tend to do this occasionally...
I think it's the ballasts...

Ballasts are dying. Good luck sourcing a new set.

PM dstocks.

If you're nice, and he still has them, you might be in luck.
I grabbed my spare from him.
