Hi!

 

Tried to find previous post about the topic, but not much luck. 

 

I noticed that my -08 Octavias xenon headlights now flickers on-off now and then. Not sure is both of them doing it or just one side, but it's like both of goes off..

I haven't changed them in my ~5y ownership and I could say they have lost their brightness a lot and ones little violet which usually tells is needs replacing.

But does xenon start flickering when going out? D1S has ballast build in them?

 

Any good ideas to trying to start solving the flickering. I have only checked connections aren't loose etc.

I would say it could be the bulbs on the way out to be honest.

Personally, I would change the bulbs and see if the problem continues, otherwise you could be chasing a fault that doesn't exist.
