Burnt bi-xenon bulbll

Today after driving under some heavy rain i got a message telling me that my right low beam was out. And sure when i hot out of the car the light was out.

I waited a couple of hours to see if was just moisture but the problem did not go away.

My car only has about 50k km. what is the average lifespan of these bulbs?

Should last over 50,000kms. I would try to unplug it and inspect it the bulb. Takes about 2 minutes to unplug

Bulbs life is more dependent on usage rather than mileage. Hids with normal use should last anywhere from 5-8 years. Heavy use will reduce the lifespan on your bulbs.
