Xenon flicker/Replacement.

rashi_g_h · 13th October 2014, 10:32

Hi all.

I have a flicker on my xenon's every now and then ant the light failure indicator comes on intermittently. Was just wondering if xenon bulbs do this as they approach end of life or if its a wiring issue of some sort....

Any ideas??

I think it's more likely to be the ballasts

Check your wiring at the connectors making sure the power feeds and earthing have a low resistance.
