Not pretty, but will have to do until I can find another head light 
.
I replaced the Xenon igniter a few months ago, but like for others, the screws was so rusted that they broke.
Super glued it there, but that didn't last long. It stopped working only a week or so after.. Haven't had the energy to take a look - wheel off, wheel lining off, light off - it takes a while. But today was a good day to do it, wasn't SOO hot this morning. Although, because it took quite a few hours to try to figure out how to solve it, it got VEEEEEERYYY hot!!
Turned out the igniter had "just" shaken loose, so got it done eventually, it will probably/hopefully last a few weeks/months. They're not cheap, and not easy to find either!
It needs changing anyway, someone had put in some steel angle bracket there for whatever reason I can't fathom (the two holes at the right of the first picture) and the little "lip" that holds the sprayer (just to upper left of the igniter) have broken off..
Btw, is the light itself the same between Halogen and Xenon, or are they different? I hate WIS, can't find ANYTHING in there!

Can be a good thing too! 🤩Wife's always said I was colour blind......
Went to Italy for a long weekend for the wife’s birthday and ended up getting stuck there for an extra day due to bad weather. Didn’t get the roof down once (in May!) On top of that, Mount Etna decided to start erupting while we were doing a cheeky bit of shopping in IKEA so I have a job for tomorrow now… this is the volcanic ash on a car I cleaned last Thursday
great experience nonetheless!

Lucky at being unlucky ( like me!) At least the top and windows weren't down and you didn’t wear that white linen suit! Lots of rinsing and suds, minimal wiping….goodness!Went to Italy for a long weekend for the wife’s birthday and ended up getting stuck there for an extra day due to bad weather.
