Dim Xenon
« on: January 01, 2018, 02:32:01 pm »
A few weeks ago, I noticed the nearside Xenon looked a bit pink and it progressively became pinker over the next day before it finally stopped working. I bought two of these >clicky< and replaced the nearside one. It took me about 45 mins and was a pain in the backside as it was so awkward. I even dropped the bulb once. But once fitted, the bulb was bright white and looked great.

Today, I replaced the offside bulb. A lot easier. When I tried the headlights, the nearside bulb was now noticably dimmer than the offside bulb. The offside bulb looks as bright as the nearside one did when first fitted.

What's gone wrong?


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
