R56 Broken Headlight assembly Mount & Xenon Confusion
Broken Headlight assembly Mount & Xenon Confusion
2009 R56 Base
Thought that I simply needed to replace the xenon bulb, but the mount that the bulb sits in is flopping around, which must have caused the bulb to fail.
One of the mounting points has broken. I'm going to try and fix/glue it. To make the job more fun, one of the headlamp mounting bolts won't come out. the capture nut has escaped capture and turns with the bolt.
I removed the xenon and it's a 9285 141 294 Osram 35W 6000K. Glad that I checked before ordering a new bulb because everywhere online they specify the 66144, which are 4300K vs 6000K for the one my car came with.
Any helpful suggestions welcome.
