| Re: Greetings All New To Site issues Xenon Bulbs Although, xenon burners are supposed to last the life of the car, it is not un-common for them to expire. Unfortunately, they are seen as consumeables & not covered by warrenty either (I don't think?). Try HIDS4U Ltd, Leeds, UK for all HID and Xenon lighting kits and conversions for replacement burners as they are half the price of dealer prices. I'm sure that the dealer won't mind fitting it for you (1 hour max). Welcome BTW.

| Re: Greetings All New To Site issues Xenon Bulbs Welcome, and drink DRINK DRINK, FECK GURLS @R$E DRINK!! Afraid Jon's pretty much covered it ; Plasma discharge units should in theory last the liffe of the car, but are still regarded as consumables.  |

I changed the burners in mine & after an hour & several scraped knuckles, they were done.
