R36 Front right dipped beam (xenon) not working.

They are d1s

I was referring to blergen's question about the B7, my B7 definitely has D3S bulbs, I have the box they came in. They must of changed to D3S at some point.

Thanks MIG, yes definitely a D3S bulb on my B7. I'll give it another go.
Cheers.

Ah ok sorry was referring to the thread title.

Figure I'll jump onto this thread - my lights are working, but I'm getting an error thanks to my high beam on the righthand side. I understand the xenons are always on 'high' and have a reflector that moves out of the way when high beams are active. Apparently I have an electrical fault stopping this from happening, so only my left high beam will turn on.

I understand it's not a serviceable part and that you need to replace the entire headlight, or that it's sometimes the controller that needs replacing.

Fault code 02499 - Electrical error in circuit

Any ideas?

That code is for a Right Low Beam Reflector Motor (V295)

Open up the back cover of the light and check if any of the wires look damaged or frayed; I have heard of these having the insulation fail and shorting out.

Thanks MIG, I'll check that out
