How do you remove the Bi Xenon bulbs????
Turns out that my bi xenon bulb wasn't burned out. Driver side low/high beam bi xenon is still dark.
I've got an appointment for Friday to leave my car so that they can get to something called the ignitor (ballast??) and other parts to get the light working.
The one thing that bothers me is that the tech had his finger all over the bi xenon bulb(burners). My understanding is that the oils from the fingers will shorten its life time. I'd like to remove them so that I can clean them with alcohol, but haven't been able to figure out how that little wire do lolly comes off.
Does anyone have a video or pictures of how exactly the retaining wire comes off of the bi xenon?
Thanks in advance.

At $200 per bulb, don't think so.
Ordinarily, I would be able to figure it out if I could get a good look at it. Its not rocket science. Problem is I can't get a good look at it.

wwmindy,
Sure hope that was under warranty.
I know the xenon burners come out because the tech did so. I couldn't tell how he did it is the problem.
Anybody know how they come out on a C300?
