Halo lights on drivers side stopped working. Bulb?

335tim · 09-27-2013, 10:55 AM

Had a warning flash up a couple of days ago saying "side/daytime lights on right faulty". Looked at lights and the halos aren't lit on the right.

Is it simply a bulb or more? I had a look under the cap covering the lights but not sure how to change it. Any help much appreciated.

The chances are it's just a blown bulb but you won't know for sure unless you remove it & have a look

Likely to be a bulb and they're a standard H8. Access from the little panel at the top of the headlight then twist the bulb out of it's housing. Twists about 1/8 of a turn and just pulls out.

Hi mate I had this on mine, but I checked my h8 bulb and they were ok (swapped the bulbs over from left to right and they worked), so it turned out that my frm module had gone

luckily got one off eBay for £70 and had it coded on to my car. Hope it's just the bulb for u
