Litronic Headlight FLICKER? Intermittent at Startup?

[Boxtaboy]

I had a flickering of one of my litronic headlights once when I turned them on, and it turned out is was due to a poorly seated connection with the receiving socket. Once I removed and re-secured my headlight in place, it didn't happen again. You, however, are saying that the flicker happens with both headlights, so either they're both seated loosely, or you may have a headlight switch going out.

Definitely sounds like a bad connection somewhere...

Disassemble and reassemble. Or your headlight switch could be the problem...

Loose connections are always a possibility, particularly if any of the wires are tapped.

If none of those suggestions work: It could be a faulty ignitor, the ballast assembly was placed too far away from the lamps, incorrectly wired ballast/ignitoror, incorrect (reversed) wiring to the lamp, or the lamps are failing. Each of these tends to produce the flickering you are talking about.
