Problem with xenons
So drivers side xenon is not working some cable was cut I've put them back together but still not working
When i turn lights on it flickers and tries to turn on and goes off

there is power going through the wires that was cut so that part is fine
Main light doesn't work (red circle)
But the bottom light is working (green circle)
So if the ballast/igniter is dead could the bottom work but the top wouldn't?
I haven't swapped over the bulb, is it a definite bumper off job?
Thank you

The only way to get full access to the xenon bulb on these is to remove the front bumper completely. All you have done in the picture above is remove the radiator grille, which you have to remove to get the bumper off. There are quite a few screws on GTI's to take the bumper off, and you'll also need to remove the front wheel arch liners to get to a couple of screws hidden in there...

With regard to your question above, the bulb in the green circle is the indicator so not affected by the xenon ballast.

I thought you could just remove that upper bumper part to access the whole light unit? You certainly can on a non-GTI
