2004 E55 Xenon Headlights Flicker ONLY When Car is Started
As the title says, both of my headlights start flickering when I start the car. Car was involved in a small collision and has been repaired and the last thing left is getting these headlights working. Both have been replaced with factory xenon lights, not aftermarket. Have already replaced the bulbs, ballasts, and even the headlight switch and entire SAM computer.

I hadn't this problem too. Turn out to be a cracked ballast. My buddy switched it out with a spare he had and I never had the problem again. It was only in the left headlight for me. I see you already changed your ballast though

Did you ever figure this problem out? Having same issue. Headlights are fine until I start the car. Then they start flickering.
