Headlight Problem

[VeinAST]

Happened this evening.

Whilst driving the headlights were flickering on/off (along with the green bulb on the dash to let you know dipped beam is on/off).

Decided to pull over and turn auto lights off.

Seems intermittent but decided to try turning them to side and then off and then reversed that.

Sides came on, but when lights were switched to dipped they did not come on straight away.

Now normally looking through the posts if it was one it would be easy to presume a bulb but neither of them are discoloured.

Are my ballasts buggered? :S

This happened to me the other day!

I was playing with my lights and turned the stalk to the off position and it put them in dipped and when it was on the dipped setting the lights were off! I solved it by turning the car off taking the key out and then re startin!

As simple as that? I'll have a prod around now

Yeah, up behind the glove box the relays are on the UCH. Make sure none are loose.
