You purchased a used car and decided to have someone else replace, your option.

Considering the fact that it probably wasn't your bulb though, but most likely the ballast, now you have two different color headlamps when they are both turned on?

Then again xenon bulbs are made to last a few thousand hours or so. Try to get that from a halogen based lamp and the output from one.


Did you search on these forums for information regarding xenon lamps?

I'm sure if not I then someone else would have chimed in about repair so you wouldn't have had to pay that outrageous amount.

BTW, did they issue you an entire new lamp? For $1000 you can get both xenon lamps brand new including all bulbs and ballast, just drop them in.
