marc_hakim · 08-20-2008

plz could anybody tell me how to stop my xenon light flashing. when i turn them on on light will be on then flashes rapidly then be on, and so on. i tried to pull out the light frame but i couldn't figure out what's the problem.

The filament in the bulb might be loose and the vibration from the engine could be causing it to flash, sounds like it is time for a bulb replacement.

It sounds to me like you are descirbing what happens with the active headlights (linked to sterring control) When the lights are first turned on, the headlights move around for a few seconds and adjust to the ride height - while the headlights move around, they appear to flash - watch from the outside while someone turns your lights on....

if you are getting a warning light(flashing globe) on the dash then its most likely time to replace bulb. if you are getting a warning message on the MFI as well then it could be a loose connection.
