Flickering headlamp
My 2007 w221 left low headlamp has been flickering. Getting worse everyday. The light actually shuts off and comes back on at its worse. Has any one had this experience? Will it be the bulb or ballast or something more serious? Water maybe? Any Input is appreciated.

I bought

Very easy to install ... Will kinda of ....
1) jack the car take the wheel out
2) remove the iner plastic ( just so you can see the headlight housing)
3) you will have a direct access
4) take the round black cover out
5) unclip the bulb igniter and replace with new one .
The bulb comes attached to the bulb 'its all in one unit ...
Hope that helps ..
