Light is Blinking in Front...Why?
I turned off the car and the lights and as I was walking away, I noticed that the front head lamp (the circular inner one) started flashing intermittently. for no apparent reason.
Lately the "Check tire pressure" light came on and honestly I have not checked it...(will do that tonight when I get back home) but, the light seems to be flashing only on one side and it does not follow any sort of rhythm.
I was thinking that maybe it was signaling which tire was low on air possibly?
anyone here have any idea whats going on?

Also have a 2010, had tires go low, had flats, never had a blinking light except when activating or de-activating the locks. How long until it stops flashing? Could your other headlight be out and it is the locking system flashing the lights as normal? Although mine are original , many people on this site have had to change out their bulbs ( see dreaded clip posts)

Yes I did...there was a point that every 2 months I had to replace a bulb...luckily the dealer did it for free but never really had a problem like this before...
The light stops flashing after about a minute or two...it's not like it's constantly doing that.
Maybe I'll just take it to the dealer one of these days

Has this happen more than once?
Don't think the light has anything to do with TPMS (ahh who knows maybe it does), but I have not seen this and my TMPS has gone off many times before. It almost looks like some sort of a warning (like if door is not closed or key is inside) but it's too spastic.
Maybe it's malfunction of the delayed lighting (i.e. when lights are supposed to stay on for 20-30 seconds).
