Hi guys...I know there's been a few topics on bulbs recently but none exactly the same as mine.
56 plate 230 f1.
Couple of days ago I noticed that after switching my lights on (dipped) one of them began to turn pink. If I switched it off, waited about 30seconds and turned them back on, the light would be the correct colour, but again it would slowly turn pink.
The next day the problem was the same, but instead of turning pink, it turned blue.
Today, it flickers for a while after turning it on, then switches off.
All other lights are fine.
Went into halfords and the guy first said it would be 20quid to change. Then he said 80. Then his boss said 250 (for a bulb?!).
The lights self level so I assume they are hids...
I suppose me question is, do I need a 250 quid bulb or are they just screwing me over?
Also could this be a wiring issue rather than a bulb issue? (halfords man also suggested this).
Cheers
Josh
