The left low beam head light burned out. A mechanic says it a xenon bulb and will cost $200 for the replacement bulb alone and probably another $100 for the work. Anyone have experience with the xenon bulbs, cost of replacement, suggestions for having it done?

EnthusiastTry switching the left & rt. bulbs.......most of the time is is not the bulb, its the controller or a bad connection. Don't touch the bulb with you fingers, use a glove. (no grease or oil) Good luck

the halogen? bulb. It cost an additional $52 for labor....Maybe not so easy to get to?
Thank you for the insight about the xenon bulbs. That information is bound to be a help
to someone shocked by how expensive they are.Flag This
