My H4 died today

Nick -

Is the bulb burnt out - or is the entire housing broken? VW suppliers will sell the H4 headlight units for decent money (i.e. usually less $ than BMW suppliers).

hi beams work fine, passenger side low beam is out..no cracks etc. So these lights have a buld inside I can replace?

H4 bulbs are eveywhere. yes, you just replace the bulb. They are available in diff wattages so you should have them match. No idea how to tell what wattage your existing bulbs are.

DON'T TOUCH THE BULB WITH YOUR FINGERS!!!

The oils on your fingers will cause hot spots and cause the bulb to burn out early.

Nick, just in case, check fuse #9 - it's for the passenger low beam.

Sorry about the bad pic, like a few things, parts are starting to fall off the Touring.

Go over to the Danial Stern web site and do some readding over there concerning bulbs and the so called bright white bulbs.

nick.consider going HID with a ballast kit. prices have come down a bit. call my buddy John, he's the owner of http://store.sharphid.com/
