intermittent headlight bulb

Post by bonerp » Sat Feb 04, 2012 12:44 pm

Hi My ns headlight seems to be playing up - came up as advisory on MOT today - strangely its been perfect before.

What bulbs does the 06 x5 with xenons use? Is it D2S? assume its the expensive ones!

Unfortunately, I think you're right. D2S. They are a lot cheaper than they used to be though. In 2005 they were well over £100 each!! Source that a number of us have used for lamp kits, Angel Eye kits, LEDs etc.....
