Default Xenon headlight out

The bulb is not burned out. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

Default Don't worry about it, definitely a warranty item...

Besides, how do you know it's not burned out? The HID headlights are not exactly bulbs you know (think arc light...)

I had the car to the service tech 2 weeks ago and it was determined that the bulb was ok (yes, I know that it's an arch light), and it is covered by the warranty. I'm trying to trouble shoot it first. I've never used this shop and I want it done right and fast! It shouldn't take a month to fix a headlight!!!!

Default I don't believe the Xenons ARE servicable; rather they have to swap out the headlight...

Of course, at $1300 per, they will probably do all they can to double check the wiring, first...

Default I had the same problem...

The bulb was good, but rather it was the electrical seating (?) or connection for the igniters that fire-up the headlights. Dealer just reseated the connection and I haven't had problem since.
