Faulty Daytime Running Lights

white 125M · 11-26-2010, 11:35 PM

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem - my right hand side daytime and side running lights are dead. The left hand side is fine, that still works great, but for some reason, it';s only the right hand side that's not working.

I took the car into my dealer yesterday and they ran up the diagnostics and the reckon it was a loose globe - never heard that one before. Anyway, got the car back and all fine, but then when I got into the car in the afternoon, the same problem returned.

I'll take the car back next week and I know the dealer will sort it out for me as they're very good in looking after their clients, but I thought I'd ask the question in this forum just on the off chance that someone else has experienced the same problem.

Cheers.

So is the globe still in working condition or not? Sometimes a blow globe will still work periodically when the filament isn't completely burnt out - when they make contact the bulb will work but when you drive around it'll shake and cause the ends to lose contact.

Just take it out yourself and take a good look at it.

The globes are all fine.
