Hi all,

I have a 57 reg Cupra and the passenger Xenon headlight isn't working, started being temperamental a few weeks back so I changed the bulb and then it didn't work at all, I've swapped bulbs side to side still no good.
Just fitted a new ballast control unit and it's still not working again have swapped them side to side.
Anything next I can try? Or is it a new headlight.....

Cheers, if I see power to the headlight as expected would you say I need a new headlight?
Got my MOT in 2 weeks so trying to get it sorted haha!
Checked power and all seems in order even when comparing side to side.... Anyone else think of anything it could be before I bite the bullet and order a headlight?

If it’s got power it could be the earth for that headlight not grounding the head properly. You really need to inspect the wiring. Did you say the bulb and ballast from the other side works on the nine working side it is that another post I’m thinking of?
