My drivers side xenon has stopped working, also when the car is cold the passenger one seems to flicker when I move off. I thought these lights were supposed to last 10yrs? My car is exactly 4 years old (this week!)
I'm guessing this is another uncommon fault? Is the ballast a part of the headlight unit? Is it possible to remove the xenon bulb and try it on the other side? I'm thinking this will point to either a faulty bulb or ballast? Is there an easy way to test which bits bust?

just swap it over and see.
have a look on ebay for the bulbs and buy two.. then swap both at the same time, just to make sure you have the same colour bulb light from both.

I'm guessing it was a loose connection or something but all the plugs looked tightly closed, confused. Aww well at least it works... For now

Thanks once again for the info, I've seen aftermarket hid kits on the web from £70 so was thinking this could be an alternative? I'll need to hack the original wiring to bypass the original ballast and power the aftermarket one, though if it saves £500 then I'm willing to give it a shot!

Found it I think... http://opposedforces.com/parts/impre...llustration_2/ looks to be number 18 there, I'm guessings it's a bumper off job to get to the wiring etc.

Thanks guys, didn't read Robs message properly
Did some digging today, apparently the ballast is quite generic and fits a load of different jap cars, so I'm going to read the manufacturer part numbers from the ballast and see if I can get one from a breaker. Just waiting for the right weather to get the bumper off
Thanks

Its held in with 4 screws Under the headlamp assy. you need to remove the bumper to get the lamp out.
remove 4 clips along the top of the grille just infront of the slam panel.
Remove top pin clip on inside of wheel arch on the corner, look under the bumper and there is about 6 clips remove those.
then gently lift up the washer jet cover and unclip the covers then start at the wheel arch and gently pull the bumper outwards and it will come off
