Hi all! First post here, but I've gotten so much good info from these forums so I hope someone may be able to help on this one: I've got a 2005 V8, best vehicle I've owned honestly. Last week my "check headlight" sensor came on, upon closer inspection my driver side headlight is somehow messing up. The Treg has HID lamps - when I fire the car up, both headlights work. After a few short seconds, the driver side regular beam turns orange (usually a blue tint) then goes out shortly after that. It may come back on intermittently for a few seconds but once it's orange it doesn't go back to full "blue" brightness, and it stays off for the most part. I'll be taking the headlight assembly out tonight or tomorrow to see if I can find any obvious solutions (exposed wire that's shorting out maybe?). I've talked with the dealer and a third-party Euro repair shop and they seem to think it's the ballast, which isn't the cheapest of repairs - although it's an 11 year old car at his point so I'm not super upset that it has happened. I've not taken it into the dealer to be looked at quite yet. Hoping someone has had this issue and/or is aware of the problem/solution. Any help is greatly appreciated!
