Today, for the second time since I got GBMINI, I noticed that only one headlight was reflected in the car in front; the driver headlight was off:
This happened once before, and MINI Peabody replaced an “ignitor” but apparently there is still an issue and, as Kevin commented, it seems to be damp weather related.
The light did not come on again when I switched the lights off and on again, but it did recover when I stopped the engine and restarted everything.
Then tonight, heading home, the light was off again. It did *not* recover when I turned the car off at the post office, but it did finally come on again when I turned the car off and on again when I got home:
Strange that once the light is out, it takes a full engine off/on to recover it – seems more like a computer fault than a problem at the light itself, but I think Gary at MINI Peabody will replace the light unit later this week …
Anyone else had similar problems with the Xenons?
M&I / GBMINI 
i have had the same thing on the drivers side too. it makes ur car look cheap quality cause its broken. i always think other cars are trashy looking when i see them. i havent noticed a pattern as to cold/damp weather so i have no idea. i need to call the dealer and service my 1st oil change and then they can look at this too.
I agree …
I always notice cars with a light out and think the driver simply does not care enough to notice or fix it.
Now I suffer from this same issue and know that it is not because of anything I have done wrong.
Very embarrassing 😦
