Xenon Upgrade Repair?

So, in August I drove my Smart Car from California to Philly (awesome, btw), knowing full well that I had xenon headlights installed.

What I didn't know is that the Xenon's were aftermarket and NOT factory installed.

So when my passenger side headlight went out, I took it to Devon Smart Center (RIP) for repair ... and they informed me that their technicians weren't able to fix it. I called Cherry Hill and got pretty much the same story.

So, my question is, does anyone in the Philadelphia area know of any non-Smart auto repair places that work with Smart Cars?

Because now ... my other headlight is out as well, and not having headlights isn't cool

Thanks in advance for any help!

Most radio installation shops install those kits also. call or go by one of them. Putting them on a smart is no big deal

You should be glad your headlights went out.....a year long worldwide traffic study has shown that these headlights cause 1 of every 6 HEAD ON collisions.....Highway depts are now spending millions of taxpayer dollars to erect shade/shutters ontop of concrete road dividers to minimize excessive glare......police depts across the nation are reporting them as the #1 cause of "violent" road rage......My local town just passed a law to fine vehicle owners $126 per light for these "blinding" lights
