Head lamp issues - Dwp - 18-12-2012 08:50pm
Hi all, any help/advice on the following would be much appreciated.
I changed the standard bulbs on my Pure to Xenon max's a while ago, noticed today that the passenger side had failed, decided to put the originals back in until I got a replacement, when removing the Xenon it had disintegrated leaving a broken glass in the bottom of the headlamp unit. I managed to hoover most of it out even though its a bit tight for space. Problem is though the main beam does not work, dipped beam is ok. Drivers side is fine, any ideas??

If the bulb has 'blown up', it may have caused the fuse to blow. Probably worth checking first.

Yeah, checked fuses, all seem in order. Doesn't seem to be a separate one for main beam.

You need the wiring diagram really, could have damaged a relay, or an output stage in the ECU, depends how the switching is done these days. Was the main beam still working with the blown headlamp unit?

Very interesting. I changed the bulbs on my TD4 - to Osram Nightbreaker Plus - and ( also ) on the passenger side the bulb "exploded" , approx 1 month after fitting. Have replaced both bulbs, again , from a new pack and returned to manufacturer the faulty one and its mate.

All has worked fine for 3-4 month, thought about damage to a relay, don't like the sound of ECU problems! Looks like it may be a trip to the dealers, wonder if there will be warranty issues.
Interesting to hear another replacement bulb has "exploded", never heard of it happening before.

I have had bulbs burst in both the driver and passenger side headlamps, now I have the passenger side bulb stuck on full beam permanently!
Did anyone end up going back to the dealer? I have had land rover assist out and they couldn't do anything to help after an hour or messing around with fuses, resetting the car by disengaging the battery, re-installing the factory supplied bulbs. My dealer has said they can't fit me into the service centre until 1st March!

Dealer replaced both light units under warranty, they had the car for a week as they said they had a problem getting the parts, told me they ended up getting them off the production line!
Think I'll be sticking to the original bulbs, even though they are slightly yellow when compared to the side lights.

DWP I hope they have not taken them from my Evoque lol

That's quite a good result, thumbs up to your service team
