The error is Front Left dipped beam, but also the high beams. Apparently its 1 xenon gas bulb unit. 

 

Was quoted £180 by the dealer. About £105 from an indy specialist. But the bulb by itself can be had for a bit cheaper. The problem is I don't know the colour temperature and I don't want a car that has different looking headlights 😅

Simple way is to buy the same Xenon unit you have fitted. They are fiddly to get out but there are plenty of on line videos. 

 

However what you are supposed to do is replace both lamps at the same time to avoid an imbalance. Its a pain but its the right thing to do. Keep the spare as a back up lamp.

 

If you think changing Bi-Xenon lamps are expensive what until you have to change the light cluster when the LED units fail. 

Over time the xenons colour-shift so even if you buy an identical matched xenon, there is a good chance it won't be the same colour. As both have likely had the same amount of use, the second may fail soon too. Therefore, I would suggest you replace both at the same time

 

If you're happy with the stock performance, I'd replace both with either of the following:

- https://www.powerbulbs.com/product/osram-xenarc-classic-d1s-single

- https://www.powerbulbs.com/product/osram-xenarc-d1s-xenon-hid-bulb-single

 

As a warning, there are lots of fake, low quality xenon bubs so always buy from a reputable, authorized supplier.

Thank you. I bought from that exact link. 2x the Osram D1S for £65 deliverered. 

 

The garage is going to charge half an hour £30 to fit them. Although they thought buying both side of as a waste of money. 

 

I'm going to try and sell the old one in FB marketplace and see if anyone bites.
