E550 flickering headlight
I have a 2008 E550 and my right headlight flickering (on/off) yesterday. Then after driving it for a bit, it's no longer flickering, but now the headlight is a bit dimmer with a slight pinkish hue (or it looks that way in my garage), compared to the other side which emits a bright white light.
Any thoughts on what might be the issue? Is the bulb going out, or is it a wiring issue?

One of my previous cars was in a flood, and water got in the ballast.
The headlight flickered, became dim, and eventually died.
For LEDs, cheaper aftermarket are known to flicker.
Halogens do not flicker unless the wiring is bad, I think.
Just my thoughts..
