Xenon headlights
Got a problem with my offside xenon headlight not working. Tried a 2nd hand replacement which worked for a day and then went again. I'm lead to believe this is a fault with the model, can you give me any ideas what to do next?

Replace the Xenons with standard lights. No point in blinding oncoming drivers with a lighting system that keeps going wrong and costs £800 a side to replace.
