Re: Xenon lights problem

my 156 GTA SW is going in for its cam belt change (in its 5th year and done 43K) - will get the garage to take a look and read this thread first! Also forecast to get colder, so will get them to leave it out overnight to experience the xenon frustration!

Re: Xenon lights problem

Hi, I had the same problem. After weeks of messing about, I took the "lamps out" and cleaned all the connections. What I did notice was the plug on the underside of the right lamp was quite corroded. After cleaning all the pins the lights worked fine and have ever since. This may help but if not good luck.

Re: Xenon lights problem

No real problem.

Remover wheel arch liner
remove bolts holding bumper on the side you are working on
remoce grill either side
loosen bolts in middle of bumper
drop bumper 2 inches supported on box or suitable stand.

Whole bumper comes off in 20 mins.
