I have a ZKW bi-xenon that stopped working and is now working again. The DRL and blinker still work.
On Sunday I drove 5 hours in the rain. On Tuesday afternoon I noticed water on the inside of the cover of my passenger headlight. On Tuesday night (about 40 F), my passenger headlight did not work. Did not work the next day either. Friday afternoon I took the cover off and dried out the headlight, but because of the lack of a long enough extender for my socket, I could not pull out the light to trouble shoot-it. Today I went and got the extender and when I turned on my headlights when leaving the store, both headlights worked (temp was 50F).
Do y'all think it was the moisture? Or was the ten degrees in temp enough? I guess I'll find out when it gets colder again. Other than the igniter and the ballast, is there anything else I should check if the headlight goes out again? I doubt the bulb has burned out, my car only has 30K on it, and I put the last 14K on and almost all of it was during the day.
