Turned on my head lights yesterday morning and get the 'headlight tail light check.'
Poo! my front offside headlight hasn't come on, it was a cold morning so I thought it must have been the cold.
A few attempts at turning the headlight switch to on and off solved the problem. :question
Later on the same afternoon on the way home from work the same happens again (I drive with dipped headlights on).
So it looks like my second hand X police car ballast units have only lasted two years lol.
Anyone got any going cheap? :D

More likely to be the bulbs going soft and not striking.
Swap the bulbs or ballasts over first to see what it follows

Bulbs have a limited life - you may just have used it all up
-
and the bulbs cost a bomb! lol

I'd replace in pairs to keep the light output the same. Plus the other won't last much longer.

I did, but am somewhat more informed now and would but osram or phillips next time :y

I can get hold of some good ones for around £25 about £40 with the ballast, not Phillips or Osram, but they're brilliant at night :y
