Bi-xenon head light not working properly

Featured Replies

The left side headlight is working as it should but the right side xenon only works on high beam, i've tried switching parts from headlight to headlight but they work the same. I'm thinking it may be a problem from the wiring.

If anyone knows anything I'll appreciate it.

Hi high beam on these are halogen, low beam xenon, when mine stopped working it was the ballast attached to the under side of the lamp, start with the easy stuff to check fuses, swapping bulbs to rule these out and only work on it disconnected from power there is very high voltage.

That's wierd because of the left side i have bixenon but on the right only high beam of d2s bulb is working. I'll check the fuses though, because i've already switched the ballasts together and it had the same result.

So I found what's wrong with the headlights, inside the bixenon projector there is a shield that is moved by the solenoid(this is what's broken on my car) that helps archive low beam and high beam.
