But..soon as I put the bulbs back in f ...

Strange!!! E70 2010 ignition won't come on

Hi guys, Wondered if anyone has experienced what's happening to my e70 or anyone got any ideas as to what could be wrong with it.

WANTED - e70 pre lci front wings and front m sport bumper

Hi,

I'm after some bits as per title if anyone has some for sale.

I need both front wings (pre lci) and a front m sport bumper. Not really bothered about the colour as I'll have them sprayed. If anyone has some or knows someone that does I would appreciate the help.

Thanks

Re: Xenon headlight Colour of light wierd!!

The light has two led repair kit modules, look like spikes on the underneath of the headlight. I tried swapping them around n the purple tinge moved over so the issue is definitely to do with the module. It's £200 from the stealers!
