Why not look on the Internet to see what goes wrong with your own particular make and model of car, and eBay to find spare parts.
Chances are you'll end up back in the garage, go to an SIMI approved garage or main dealers. I personally think the back street places are a waste of time for anything other than the simplest of jobs and even then you are better leaving it to the specialists.
But again, just my opinion and what do I know.
There is only a bulb. and a board in the headlamp that powers the bulb.
