    Question on Checking for ZKW Burnt Bowls

    Is it possible to identify ZKW Xenon's burnt bowls without removing the lights from the car? My headlights seem dim, but have no reference for the right amount of light that they should be outputting. I have no problem removing them but figured that if I can save a step.

    Thanks

    Chuck

    It should be pretty obvious. I couldn't see anything at night. Odds are, if you have ZKW's they are burnt.

    Is it correct that this issue is exclusive to sedans?

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Question on Checking for ZKW Burnt Bowls

    Pop the cover off the back of the housing like you're going to change the bulb. You'll be able to see the back of the bowl. If it's burnt, it will be obvious... It will be all brown/black
