Headlights dim - how to fix?
Hey, all. Just wondering if it's possible to fix dim Xenons by simply replacing the bulbs or if the whole headlight assembly needs to be replaced. Thanks very much in advance, and Happy New Year!

I tried the Xenon bulb replacement; did not work. The vapor-deposited reflective coating on the the reflectors had gone bad. I ended up replacing the headlights. Front bumper has to come off but it is not too bad.

Good to know. Do you recommend wherever you bought from? Would have an independent do the actual replacement work. Thanks!

I purchased mine from FCPEuro.
Here's the post from when I replaced the headlights. You might show it to your mechanic so he does not have to guess at various fasteners.
