headlight flickering
hello everybody
my problem is my headlights are flickering not all the time tho 2 days ago i was driving and the right (passenger side) went south and stopped working note that i wasn't driving on a bumpy road or went over a pothole when that happened anyways i go into the gas station to buy something so i turn the car off and on again and bam no problem whats so ever this is the second time in 6 months.
i searched the forum and i couldn't find anything bout it except couple or so threads about it but never a straight answer or on how to get it fixed? could it be the module?ballast? bulb? i doubt the bulb i mean it wont work if its burnt right? or it works different than a holegen.
i really need help so i can fix it asap before more things go bad because of it specially i have to if its gunna cost alot or not !!
thank you in advance

the HID kits in the group buys forum include the parts to eliminate the error messages if you tell them which model you have, and I think they do offer the stock color light if thats what you want
They are like $60 for the new bulbs, modules ballasts etc..complete kits.
if you want to repair the factory system be prepared to shell out big $$ for the moduies or ballasts. Its not the bulbs if they flicker back on unless the connections are loose.

here is the group buy forum
https://mbworld.org/forums/group-pur...r-specials-71/
there are a couple of vendors selling HID kits, a scan of the first page of threads shows HIDExtra and E92 Lighting have kits for sale.
You should direct your lighting questions to them about the proper color and issues of locating wires
