The left headlight on my 2014 Model S has started to play up. It goes out a couple of minutes after starting the car. I booked it in for service but Tesla have quoted $1700, presumably to just replace the entire headlight assembly.
From my reading it sounds like this should be a pretty simple repair and most likely requires just replacement of the HID bulb. Apparently it can sometimes be the ballast, but my problem sounds most consistent with a bulb problem. It looks well within my abilities to do this myself from watching a few youtube videos, I just need to get the correct bulb but am not sure what the best source for this would be in Australia.
I've found this online - D3S Xenon 35W HID Kit (Pair)
Would that do the job? Would it match the original, or require me to do both sides. Does anyone have any insights or experience they can share?
