Well, it's all passed the MoT without a problem..... no washers and odd lights??
Now I've got to source a new lambda sensor!
Any ideas?
I'm going to get a matched pair of bulbs so the information shown here is all good and look forward to seeing the factsheet.
Regards
Terry

Just a little update.....
....'cos I want to have a matched pair of lights I thought I'd ask the great and the good at Mazda for a price......
.... firstly I still shouldn't have HiDs on my Mazda Bongo... seems a lot of trouble for someone to retro fit a set but possible. .... then If I did have HiDs
...."we can get them sir, it would have to come from Japan and they are £230.99 each. Shall I order you a pair?".....
... let me go away and think about that.. I'll come back to you..........
Regards
Terry

No idea what the quality is like, but for £10.49 a pair (!), these look like a bargain, even if you just keep them as a spare set.

You shouldnt work on HID unless they have been off for 45 mins you get less jumps that way
From experience the ballest is probably faulty
Swap the lamps side to side and you will see befor getting a lamp.
