   Hi, I bought some Xenon bulbs a week ago, and I've noticed they've started to dim, some of my friends have the same bulbs and it hasn't happened to any of them. Any ideas ?

   I noticed that only one was dimming yesterday so I switched the bulbs and the same side was dim, is it the plug bit that goes into the back thats playing up ?
