Have an 02 Max and my pass. side headlight starts to shutter really fast sometimes and somtimes turns completly off but turns back on when I turn the ****. Not really sure whats the deal. I already had to get replacment bulbs for it once cause good old Nissan try to charge me 300.00 to replace them. So it be that my whole xeon lighting system is going bad? If so would that be covered by warranty? cause the bulbs werent.

 

I've heard that HID bulbs start to blink or dim when they are at the end of their life. So i would guess it's just a bulb.

Try switching the bulbs and if the problem moves with, it's the bulb. If the problem stays on the same side start looking at wiring/ballast/ relay. I had a light go out and turned out to be a corroded relay.

If it is the bulb, dont let Nissan charge you $300 for it. There are a lot of online places that will sell a D2R for a lot cheaper.

 

yeah first i would do as NewLoveI30 suggested and switch the passenger side bulb with the drivers side, to see if the problem is in the bulb or not first. If not, then I have a similar problem where both my lights flicker, and I am pretty sure its the actual stalk switch. I have a new one I ordered about a week or so ago, and am just waiting for it to come in.

 

Thanks a lot if isint the bulb let me know how the part you ordered worked out. thanks

 

its the bulb definitely. Cos it just recently happened to me. Dont let it die on you buy new HID replacement bulbs from out favorite market Ebay. I think the 8000K costs about $100 shipped.

 

8000k is a no go... hardly better than halogen

6000k and below FTW
