Be interesting to see the recomendations .... not much night driving nowadays to be able to advise.

I had my RHS HID in my XJ stop working a few days ago.
Yes they are HID, I did the conversion many years ago.
I was given a HID set & decided to try it.
I should have stayed with the halogen ones!
One globe failed about 3 years ago & could not get an exact fit.
The ones I got I pulled one globe from its housing & replaced only the globe element.
Was expecting to need to do the same.
Pulled the globe out yesterday, disconnected everything & reconnected it all again & now it works.
They appear to dislike cold dry weather.
You cant test the voltage at the globe.
They give a spike over 1kv when turned on that will destroy your multimeter!
Lucky I was using a cheap one!
I think the globes run at over 100v normally.
