Headlight out - the first thing to go wrong with my MINI
One of my headlights is out. I have a 2005 MCS with Xenons, but it isn't the Xenon that is out, it's the daytime running light/high beam light.
What do I need to do to replace it? What do I need as far as a replacement, and how do I access the light? The manual says go to the dealer; is that necessary?
I am hoping it can be replaced very cheaply and easily..
Thanks!

You need an H7 light; can get as cheap as $10-20 but you get what you pay for may find a $100 bulb to last longer and be brighter if you can afford it.
Here is the how-to but you'll have the lower bulb and things will look slightly different on the top.
Hope this helps let me know if you have any questions. I'll answer themthe best I can.

Yeah don't touch your headlights. Your dealer will likely void your warranty on the pricey Xenons (like they did mine, not that i have any warranty any more) and maybe even try to void your electrical system warranty if they are *******s about it...
