Title: Blinking/Flashing Headlight Problem!!! - HELP!!!
Post by: ShoCk on 16 May 2008, 09:36

My cars headlamp seems to randomly blink when im driving at night, it gets worser at times ... so the lights will go off and on really quickly, doesnt do it while stationary though, so can't show any one with out taking them for a spin!

What earth connections can I check etc? Ive checked the wires on the headlamp itself, their all absolutely mint! even gave the terminals a check. I dont understand what else it could be ... its really winding me up!

Change the bulbs, most likely to be a loose bit of filement in the bulb breaking the connection when going over a bump

Good excuse to upgrade the bulbs to white ones now lol.

Cheers.

gotta be something to do with the switch or loose wiring then, make sure the wiring plugs are pressed firmly into the back of the headlights
