Replacing the bulbs should get rid of the flickering and the bulb error message you are getting. When HID's get old, thats what they do.

Try a long needle nose pliers to grab hold of that pin so you can turn it.

Also do a search on here and you may get some pics to help you along the way. (I would but don't have time to look for it now)

As the light flickers try two things.

1st step. Step out ASAP, and punch it. If the flickering stops, it's not your bulbs.

2nd step. When your lights start to flicker again, switch to high beam, and step out ASAP. If you observe the high beam halogen bulb flickering along with the HID bulb, then the rest is easy to figure out. It's not your ballast or bulb.

Good luck

Ummm...if he has HID's the high beam and low beam use the same bulb...the halogen inside is the passing bulb only, unless it has been vagged for the 6 light salute.
