Hi There
I have just purchased an E46 M3 conv (roll on summer)- unfortunately one of the xenon lights is out. BMW say they can fail (although I thought they were supposed to virtually last the life of the car. Anyone know of where I might get a replacement at a price lower than BMW (£60-£100 plus £35 fitting prob plus vat too) also what is the easiest way to get at it ( I can almost get the whole headlamp out and hopefully if I remove the indicator glass/lamp then it may come out)- does the headlamp come out easily? It only really needs to come forward a little as there is a removable cover on the back that will not come off due to clearance. Any comments/suggestions greatfully received.
Cheers
Smudge

That was my fear originally but there is still a bulb of sorts so the whole unit does not need replacing...
