xenon 'flicker' and different color
So, after washing my car one day and going out for a cruise, I noticed the left xenon bulb flicker a little. Next thing I know, it says "Left Low Beam" on my dash. After parking the car over night, the light turned on and everthing is fine.
A week later, I get the same message again. I simply turn off the lights and then turn them back on and all is good. But now I notice that the left bulb is less "purplish" than the right one.
Any ideas? Is the bulb going out? The ballast or igniter?
Any help would be appreciated.
