Osram or Phillips. And not from egay or Amazon marketplace, as the world is full of fake (which, trust me, are utter shite).

You will notice the difference just changing the bulbs, as HIDs degrade. I changed mine on the Bullet a couple of years back, as the illumination had got that bad.  £60 should get you a pair of genuine Osram Xenarc 4.2k :y

HIDs aren't covered by (that part of) check control. So look for other blown bulbs, particularly the 4 rear tail lights.
Oh yes they are  :y

Put two of them Osrams From Robs link in today.. No more light  :y

Hmmm, how could Check Control sense the bulb, when the Xenon Control Pack (Ballast to you and I) sits between it?

Not doubting for one second :y, just trying to understand  :-[

Diagram not clear, but looks as if the ballast is directly connected to check control...
