C55 AMG low beam headlight flicker -PROBLEM/SOLUTION?

I have a 2005 M-B C55 AMG and on my way back from this past weekend's LSU/Texas A&M game, I noticed my passenger side headlight flicker a couple times on the low beam, then go back to normal. A few minutes later, it did it two or three more times and would again straighten up again, repeating it several times during the three-hour trip. I have only had this car for three months.

Since I am a "newbie", sorry if this is a repeat problem or question on the forum, but can anyone HELP PLEASE!
What is the problem and solution to fix it, so I can night drive without worry -THANKS!

I've replaced two ballasts on the driver side. First time it just stopped working, second time it flickered for a few months before finally giving out.

I've had this problem off and on (drivers side low beam headlamp) since I bought my c55 six years ago. Initially I had the dealer check it out and they told me I had to replace the bulb and headlight module. They gave me some ridiculous quote I dont remember, but till this day I have not replaced it.
