Hi,

I have a UK 335D 2007 and have owned the car for just over a year. Ever since owning the R/H headlight used to flicker if I was accelerating hard or corner hard. Normal driving it would be fine. If I hit a big bump in the road it would sometimes flicker. I checked all connections to the lamps and the ballast packs and all ok. I just learned to live with it. Anyways on the odd occasion the light would go out and come back on again....... and I always noticed one lamp would be a different shade to the other making me think it had had a bulb replaced at some point.

Fast forward to now and the other day I noticed the R/H lamp had changed colour to a deep pink...??? Also it would go out then come back on but stay pinkish red. Now its not working at all. Would I be right in thinking that this will be a dud bulb? I would like to upgrade both bulbs but I cant seem to find some part numbers that I can use.

Any help would be great thanks

It the bulb is turning red or pink then it means its about to die.

your Xenon Adaptive Headlights aka D1S is about to burn out (normal signs of this are a pink color, or very dull output), a simple D1S bulb HID bulb replacement should be suffice to fix your issue

Yeah I did get some comments about that lol

And thanks for the replies, got some Osram Xenarc D1s coming so that should sort things out :-)

If you really want an amazing replacement go for the Osram Xenarc cool blue intense- pricey but well worth it. Oh and replace them both at the same time.
