No probs with the question, just polite to say 'Hi my name is, I drive blah, got a problem and you guys are geniuses, (insert arse kissing comments here), wondering if you could help'

On mine, I have had the Xenon fail to strike twice in 6 months, both times I turn it off, wait a few seconds then re-try...

Does yours fail to strike each time or intermitently??

Others have reported needing to leave the side lights on for a few seconds before turing the Xenons on - not sure why but it has reportedly done the trick...maybe it gives the Ballast enough time to warm up or charge up before you turn the light swtich all the way on.

So it fails to strike each time??

Fuse 32 should be fine as this is for both R/H and L/H Xenons....

Only thing it can be is the connection to the Ballast or the ballast itself not striking the Lamp.

Remove the Right Hand Ballast and plug into the Left Hand Lamp and plug the Left Hand Ballast into the Right Hand Lamp and see if the fault follows....

If it does, it is the Ballast, if it stays on the Left, it is the wiring or connection to the ballast or from the ballast to the Lamp.

thanks for your time i will try when i get home on the bus has to happen in winter will let you know what happens regards barry williamson

Common problem that the headlight ballasts fail on the early L322.

I have a pair of xenon headlights for sale if your interested

Mine did the same a while ago wouldn't light at all no matter what I tried ,I removed the headlight and took off the module on the back and cleaned the connections put it all back together and it's alot better but still does it the odd now and again,you can check if its the module by swapping it with the other side and seeing what happens if it still won't light its the striker unit inside the headlight which is a bit more difficult to change ,module or striker are both about £100 each off ebay . strange how its always the lefthand one.

Grand Job - glad we could help...let us know how you get on when the new part arrives!

Could have bought the lights and robbed the ballast out if them

Or just do a straight swap with the whole headlight
