Guys,

anyone know of a competent reliable shop in the NYC area that can replace my low beam bulb or more importantly if the bulb is not the problem give me an honest diagnosis of if it's the ignitor or control unit that needs to be replaced? I DONT trust the stealership!!


Thanks

I can examine it for you free and if it's the bulb that's required, I can replace it. If it's the control unit, you will have to order it from the dealership. Feel free to call or PM me.

Factory Xenon?



Affecting low beam only?


What happens when you have the high beam on?

Doesn't the low beams on a factory Xenon cars also serve as the high beams?
