I am getting a warning message quite frequently these days telling me that I need to check the right hand low beam bulb. I duly do this only to find that the lamps are all working perfectly. Does anybody know if there is any other source of action to help diagnose this issue as its very annoying.

Also my car has Xenon headlamps, is this referring to a Xenon bulb or is it a "normal" one?

A hard one to know, is a SAM losing some memory, leave it for a while and see, just ignore it

Good afternoon Malcolm!

Does this relate to a Xenon bulb? I am not entirely sure if my low beam is Xenon or not!

Definitely got Xenons though as they spark up and then automatically move downwards when you switch them on.

And good afternoon to you sir,

Yes they will be Xenon,,I had a similar fault when a SAM got a bit muddled up.

Where it gets hard is there are a few parts to it and it is not just a bulb with a poor contact
