Either the bulb or the ballast. You could switch the bulbs and see if the other side flickers out; that'll help narrow down whether its the bulb or ballast. Or scan the car and see what codes you pull.

Either way, with black friday and cyber monday upon us, its in your best interest to find which is the cause and order parts while the world is running discounts!!

This exact thing happened to me last year. For me it turned out to be just the bulb going bad. I recommend trying to change the bulb (or have a mechanic change it if xenon) first.

I bought some Xenon bulbs off Amazon for $16 a pair. They work great. So, try bulbs first, since it's a potentially cheap fix.

Well, I've only had the Amazon bulbs in for about a year, but so far so good. They are brighter than the 16 year old bulbs I replaced and I am satisfied so far.

Good Hit!! Thanks. Think I'll throw some in. Thks for the link. They plug in from behind, or do I need to remove the housing?
