geeunit199 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 my headlights have the halogen main beam and the dip has been changed from the xenon to a halogen, the dipped lights are absolutely rubbish, i might as well have two candles. why would somebody down grade them? one ballast is damaged so i guess cost could have been the answer but i can't understand why u would make them worse, how much are the replacement ballast units? grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 because the cost of bulbs from nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yup, cost. This is what happens when cars drop massively in value, they get picked up by skinflints who don't appreciate that these were nigh-on £30k cars when new. Probably been run on 95 as well, to save a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 As others have said, simply cost. Fully working pre-owned ballasts are in stock if required. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Ballast should run about £60 on eBay and a pair of matching bulbs about £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeunit199 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 what i will do then is buy a pair of bulbs off ebay and use the intact side to test, if that works il but a lead for the other side and go from there. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
