My Xenons keep flickering on & off.
I have an 01 330i and when the headlights are on, they flick themselves off periodically and flick right back on. Anybody experience this? Is there a dirty connector in there somewhere? TIA

I agree.. And yeah, they can both go out at the same time. The ballasts are the ones that needed to be replaced I think.. Check the fuses too!

Maybe instead of the Zenons you bought at Wal-Mart, you should have bought the Xenons from the factory!

Just a thought . . .

check the connections if they are aftermarket. If not, its most likely the ballasts and or igniters depending on what kind of setup you have
