Hi Chaps, this is the first car I have had with zenons and last winter no problems, had to turn lights on this moning as a bit foggy and dark. When stopped in traffic I noticed the drivers side light was either giving a flicker, or jumping like a broken adjuster. I could not see if this happened whilst moving, but def when stopped.
Thank you for any advice on this.

Look at it with dip beam on, if looking purple, or flickery, the bulb is failing.

Brace yourself on the cost though!

Thanks for that, just checked again this morning and no problem.
Did go out and look at colour last night, seemed as normal as ever to me.

How quickly do the motors adjust the light height when going over bumps etc. ?
Just wondering if I had a level sensor sticking, but it was only the one light doing it.

Oh yes it would seem like I need another mortgage to replace the lamps.

The full travel is probably less than 1/4s

Keep an eye on it, if it does it again, get out and have a looksie
