R26 Flashing Xenon light

  1. My driver's side Xenon light is flashing and then not working. What is it likely to be? Is it likely to be the "ECU" or the bulb?
     
  2. This happened to both of mine and it was the ballast...not cheap either.
     
  3. Ouch. Is there one on each side?

    Also, how do you tell if the bulbs are D1S or D2S?
     
  4. D2S bulb pal iirc...
     
  5. French cars are so inconsistent. I took disconnected bulb and it was a D1s. Mine is an early phase 2 so that may factor into it.

    As an aside, I reckon that changing the bulbs on a Megane without Xenons would be quite easy through the arches!
     
  6. I have a Ph2 225 with projectors. And they aren't as bad as the 5th gear video on you tube made out. I did my drivers side last night jacked up wheel off in the dark and it took 15 mins with abit of dicking about checking everything inside the arches. Lol.
     
  7. Day

    Day

    I had to take the entire light cluster out to change mine. Good luck!
     
  8. A new bulb seems to have solved it. I ended up taking the bumper off as although I could get to the bulbs through your arch, I couldn't ubclip the cables.

    The light from that bulb went a reddish colour in the weeks before it failed, so in hindsight I should have known it was on it's way out.
