Now it's due back into the garage on Tuesday anyway as in fairness the lads had ran out of time with the weekend looming and were due to sort the fault codes, but both lights were working fine when i collected it

Has anyone come up against this before? Just looking for a bit of reassurance that the lights aren't fubar  :happy2:

I had a similar problem when I retrofitted xenons, turned out to be a broken wire in the loom
