UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hey there. I tried doing a search, but couldn't find what i was look for.

I'll start of by saying i have a 2001 Polo Gti 6n2

Recently one of my front headlights (Xenon D2S) seemed to have gone out, so i purchased a new pair of them.

I installed them, turned them on and they initially didn't come on. I turned the headlight switch again and one of them came on, and kept switching it a few times until they both eventually came on.

So i know the bulbs are fine (in a sense) so I'm wondering if its the ballasts that are on the way out? These are them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190384099664? ... 694wt_1163

It just seems weird that they have gone faulty at the same time and that the issue is temperamental.

Would you recommend:

+ Different set of bulbs?

+ New ballasts?

+ Dodgy connectors/wiring (still original in there)

Thanks in advance, Phil.

I'd say it was a ballast issue but I'd wait for confirmation on that before you buy replacements

Yea I'm thinking the same thing to be honest.

I'm not sure how the life span on them are.

I'v seen some new ones on eBay for £25-30 for 2 ballast and bulb but that seems too cheap as there are 2nd hand VW ones for £120 for 1 ballast.

I just dont want to waste money on buying the wrong thing.

Thanks, Phil

Does anybody know if these will fit my Polo Gti 6N2 2001?
