Well since there aren't too many of us with the xenonshop/spp Philips xenon upgrades I doubt I'll get too much help with this problem but I might as well check.

After 7 months of flawless operation, last night when I turned on my headlights only the left one came on and my trip computer gave the headlight malfunction notice. I checked the fuse and it is fine, even swapped it with the left one and still the right headlight is out, so it is something more complicated than that. I haven't had the chance to take the housings out to inspect, but the light bulbs are supposed to last a long time so I am guessing I'll need a new ballast. I'll do a little process of elimination using the good headlight to find out exactly what is wrong and what I need to order, but has anyone had any experience with a situation anything like this? I really don't feel like dropping a couple hundred on another damn headlight but I don't think I'll have a choice, cause I can't go back to halogen.

Thanks for any insight...

if OK then swap the ballasts, if problem moves, it's the ballast. If not it's the bulb (but it sounds like the problem maybe the ballast).
