Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Xenon in Right side does not "fire" in every start

I started this topic due to MOT in October. I did not do anything yet as I had good luck. Both sides were working when the 'engineer' started the car. Only corroded sills were the problem but fixed now. One year more to clarify this.
