Headlight repair

Hello all. I live in NYC and travel a lot for my job. My wife told me one of the headlights have gone out and she just received a ticket and she's freaking out. She said right after she received the ticket the light started working again but it's out again.

The problem is I won't be back in town for another 30-ish days and would like some help locating a person or place that can help fix this problem immediately.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Tks

Sounds like either your ballast or igniter is on the fritz (more likely ballast if it's intermittent) Buy a ballast and have it replaced by a local shop. Stick to OEM on our 3G's..

Post in the NY section (regions forums on acurazine) and a member would probably help direct you to a great shop or come over and help you out.

You can buy new bulbs from here:
OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Intense D2S (Twin) | PowerBulbs


and use the 20% off code. These are the best automotive bulbs in the industry. You need to replace them in pairs if the bulb is bad.
