I've had my Gallardo MOT'd today and one of my headlights decided to pick this moment to blow frown

They changed the bulb but it still doesn't want to fire up. They're going to checkout if any fuses could cause this and I'm going to take the car back in a few days.

The ECU isn't reporting an error and the other light is working fine. So I'm hoping it isn't the PSU which I'm told won't be cheap.

Has anyone seen a similar issue? Or have any advice on what to try?

Your help and idea's are very much appreciated smile

Swop the headlamp control unit (just behind each headlamp) from side to side, and if the problem swop's sides there's your issue. The unit is about 120 quid from the dealer and is also fitted on a Passat!!!
Hope that helps.

I'll get them to try that when it goes in Thurs/Fri. Was expecting the control unit to be more, since its apparently several times that on Ferraris. They haven't done this before on Lambo's so weren't too sure on pricing. Was only there for MOT, but these things happen when you least expect them.

Do you have the part number by any chance?

Thanks again for the advice.

If you give Lambo Manchester a ring a call and speak to Simon he will get you the part number as they keep them on the shelf. It an easy job to do about one hours work.
