HELP.. Xenon light switch broke, lights don't work. Getting dark..
 
My switch for my head lights has been acting
Up lately. Every time I try and turn on the lights they will flicker. So I would have to turn it on and off until they come on. And today it's seems done completely, I'll turn it to the on switch and it will make a sound and nothing..... What to do? I'm gonna be driving in the night soon....

More than likely it is the ignition switch...try wiggling the key/turning it just slightly backward. Had the SAME thing happen when I installed my xenons, turned out it was the ignition switch.

It's either the light's switch or the ignition switch.
I'd venture a guess that it's the former.
Here are the DIY instructions to replace them both:

Thanks!

I'm leaning towards the light switch. It's on order.

I'll report back.

I got the same problem as you, it was the light switch, i remove it and clean it with contact cleaner and that resolve the problem.
