[s-cars] S6+ HID question

[Mtgadbois at aol.com]

Sean,
 
Thanks.  I stared at it for some time and nothing would budge  so.....  Took 
a screwdriver and broke off the tabs on the old bulb holder  and it came right 
out - anti or counter clockwise.  I'll take some pictures  of it later - I'm 
going to spend the next few days near Tampa.  As far as  symptoms go - yes I 
was down to about 30% lighting on the first try.  I  didn't do more than two 
tries as I heard that will kill the life of the good  bulb.  Since I'm near 
Chicago and really don't need 2 good headlights I  would turn on the fog lights so 
I had 2 sort of headlights.  I never got  stopped by the cops so it must have 
worked. 
 
Yes, as far as costs go US$666. including shipping.  However it  took a good 
6 weeks to arrive - I believe I ordered these mid-January.  If  you need the 
part numbers let me know I have them somewhere.  When I  installed my 
headlights the left side was noticeably cleaner than the right side  so I figure the 
left side might have been almost new.  Hopefully this set  as is will last the 
life of the car.
 
Best,

I have the S6+ OEM xenons in my car, bought them used from  ebay.de

I remember taking one apart to fix it because part of the  mounting tab
was broken and it took me a while to figure out how to get the  bulb
assembly out of the projector housing.
