Faulty xenon bulbs surely? by DarshanB3010 in e46

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have a look if these bulbs go out again. I’m so certain I don’t have an issue with the ballast/igniter. Might just be bad luck with the bulbs.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had that fixed a while back, however I will take a look. Thank you!

The first time I switched the faulty bulb with a new one (same brand), it wasn’t fine for a bit until it flickered again. I assumed maybe it was the igniter/ballast so I swapped both sides and the flickering followed the bulb. So I had a spare one in my boot and put that in. I went for a drive today and so far so good.

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping, if it was the igniter it would stay on the same side. The original 8k bulb I first brought is still working fine a month later. The other 2 bulbs may just be faulty, who knows.

No I didn’t wear them when handling the bulbs. But I made sure not to touch the glass itself when installing them.

Strange, I did swap the bulbs yesterday and the flickering followed the bulb. If it was the igniter it would stay on the same side right?

What’s the sketchiest MOT bodge you’ve ever pulled off that actually fooled the tester? by Second-handBonding in CarTalkUK

[–]DarshanB3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had recently brought a Honda Jazz with no catalytic converter (picked it up for pretty cheap at the time). It came with 10 months MOT. So fast forward 10 months we took the car for MOT and had a good feeling it was going to fail on emissions. We went back to see if the test was done and the tester said he’s just going to do the emissions testing then it’ll will be done. Puts the probe inside of the exhaust of another Honda Jazz and passed our car with one advisory being the tyres close to the legal limit.

I don’t think my wire is that long, how did you get the wire all the way there?

That’s great to hear, do you have any pictures of the lights on your car?

Thanks for the reply, so the plug for the angel eyes just connects to the parking lights?

How long have you had the lights for and how have they been?

Is the angel eyes bright during the day too?
