dead upon turining on the headlight switch. Is it the bulb or ballast? I also get the headlight and brakelight symbol on the cluster as well. Might try replacing them with new ones. Any suggestions on new xenon replacements? OEM vs. aftermarket? TIA

try the connections first, then decide if it's the ballast. i chased a wild goose a couple years ago replacing the ballast.

loose connection. Possilbe, yes, but these sockets to the actual xenon bulb are a 'turn-and-click' type connection.

The biggest repair/replacement item still seems to be the ignitor, inside the headlight.

so it *could* be that too.

odd, as it's a solid 'push-twist-turn' to release the red connector

...I can just flip my HL switch off, then on and it comes back on. Sometimes I can see BOTH HLs flicker, but the PS one never goes completely out, it always seems to be the DS.

Any clues about that??

if it is the igniter, i have an extra one.

Thanks, I will check the bulb first and let you know.
