Or..well, it's not there anymore. Dunno what happened. And now one of my xenon bulbs is fried. Something I think w/the weather.

Thank goodness for chef warranty ?

Default The headlight washer cap may have just blown off while you were driving...

That has happened to several people on here in the past. As for your bulb, probably just died or some water managed to get inside the headlight housing and shorted it out. Never had a weather-related issue w/ headlights before (two Indiana winters).

Default They are known to just come off...I lost one once...

and WHAT a PITA! The dealer kept botching the order and they arrive unpainted so had to go to a paint shop where they got lost and another set was ordered...took WEEKS to get a new one in the end. They're assymetrical too so be SURE your dealer really REALLY understands which side you need.

It was replaced under warranty BTW.

If you're driving real fast, and you hit the washers when the headlights are on, they fly off.
