'Popped' Headlight - Repair or Replace with HID?

[Wapping]

ps - I mostly drink London Pride (or any similar ales) which costs
£2.50 a pint in the pub near my EC3 office btw...

Excellent.

Which pub?

The bulb holder originally had the clip holding the bulb from right to left, but the grooves snapped/wore off on the right side. The only way I could get the clip to work therefore was to switch the clip around so that it sat under the screw on the left. This was the screw I was tightening when it went pop. I might add that I didn't actually need to tighten the screw because I did the switch about three bulbs ago so I'm less than chuffed with my pointless tampering...

I've spoken to BMW who will not commit to a warranty repair until they have seen the problem themselves so I will be taking it in tomorrow.

If you are talking about the headlight adjustment, it can be fixed, I did it myself

All Sorted

To my pleasure and surprise, BMW replaced the entire headlight unit under warranty. They also replaced both wing mirrors saying they weren't happy with them (the glass was spinning) which was a bonus and then they topped it off by giving the bike a proper steam clean. Mustn't grumble.

I think their decision was helped by me dislodging (accidentally) the dipping switch. When I took it in I said it didn't work so it looked like it had broken.

Anyway, normal service has resumed - the candle is back in the jar...
