Face lift xenon problem

Featured Replies

Hi all I have a 2015 model superb elegance FL, I’m having problems with the drivers side xenon headlight. The bulb went a few months ago and as you know bumper off job to replace was done at a garage. After a few hours of fitting and it was working when I left the garage I went to start the car at night and the bulb did not turn on so took it back to garage and replaced bulb as they thought the new bulb was dodgy but the next day same thing happened so then we decided to replace the ballast module and same thing happened. All other lights work including the DRL only the main xenon beam will not work, the headlight has no sign of water ingress no cracks or issues looks brand new also just had wiring loom checked from car it’s fine. Now my question is does the FL xenon headlight require any sort of coding to work when replacing bulb or ballast module or could this be component protection issue?

had same issue on a 2010 superb xenon but that was water ingress replaced headlight all sorted
