You need a D3S xenon light. These are also sometimes called HID.

I myself am partial to Osram as a brand but there are many others. I would change both sides rather than only one side.

Amazon are quite good price wise for the Orsam Night Breaker ones, about £120-140 for a pair.

Those don't normally fail per se, they usually lose their brightness but don't usually fail.
Now for the bad news, the replacement will be considerably brighter than the other side and very probably, a different colour, which is why you should replace them in pairs. Big Cry

Have a look on hids4u. I got a pair of D2S for my D3 from them on their recommendation and they were a million times better than the rubbish Philips ones that were in there. They were about £65 for the pair Thumbs Up

I've ordered some cheap bulbs, will see if that fixes it - if not I'll look at the ECU

thanks for the advice.
