One of my xenon headlights developed "pink eye" then went dark. While researching the project, it seems a anti-static mat is suggested to prevent damaging electrical system. Is this really needed?

Hmmm...to change the bulb? Anti static is needed only if you are doing board and electronic circuit level trouble shooting...so I am sure you be ok without it,lol.

Thank you all for the feedback. I wondered about the mat. The Bentley Publishers service manual states the mat should be used. This being my 1st BMW, just thought I'd verify. Thanks again.
