Hello folks, stopping outside my work tonight i turned off my lights, passenger side went out but drivers side kept flickering on and off. I turned the ignition off and the lights went off, turned enine on then lights on, same flickering from passenger side. I then turned off the engine and flashed the lights and they just flashed as normal. Anyone any ideas why they are flickering ?
Cheers, Tommy

Failing ballast ? Try swapping the ballasts from side to side if you can, and see if the problem follows.

I'll try swapping the ballasts over once the gale force winds and howling rain eases up a bit.

Just went out and checked connections and the light is working now, both balasts are making a little buzzing sound, is this normal ?
