2003 325 xi e46 xenon headlight problem
I've replaced my xenon bulb twice within less than a week. Basically the tip is getting blown off. Wondering if it's my ballast or igniter or both? Any thoughts out there?

Did you touch the bulb? Oil residue leftover from your fingers can cause them to shatter.

No. Was careful to not touch with bare skin. My mechanic thinks it is the ballast or igniter. Just don't want to spring$$ for the wrong one.

You have to switch parts from side to side to see. I dread the day when mine fail.
