These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bi Xenons it seems they have been hesitant to come on lately, but I wasn't sure if it was me not really paying attention, Tonight they won't turn on at all. Running lights work, Hi beams will work when I flash them, fog lights work, just the head lights don't both sides, any ideas? 2002, C2 Thanks

POST 2Original post

Headlight switch. Had the same problem, the electrical traces on the switch wears out and you get all kinds of crazy lighting problems.

POST 6Original post

Headlight switch. Easy DIY. Instructions on forum made it cheap. Trick to getting out old switch is pulling out handle to reveal hex wrench hole on bottom of switch handle, then unscrewing to remove handle.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup new switch fixed it. 1/2 hour job Thanks All

POST 8Original post

I've got the same problem. What should the switch for a 2002 996 cost?

POST 10Original post

thanks, it's nice to know at lease some parts are affordable

POST 11Original post

It seems like this is a common problem. I just replaced my headlight switch today, with success. I had the same symptoms as some described above, all lights working except Xenons. They just kind of blinked and would not "ignite". All other lights worked.

POST 12Original post

The switch isn't really designed to be repairable, but if you're handy, you can crack it open, repair it, and glue the shell back together for essentially free.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
