C Class (W203) flickering xenons - ideas?

[High flier]

Hi,

The xenons on my C55 both started flickering just before I got home. However when I pulled into the drive to check them they seemed fine. So I assume it could be a loose connection when moving.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

Cheers,

James

ECU, possibly. Xenons are 35w, rather than the expected 50/55w which confuses it. Bodge is bulbs with a 15w resistor package which might stop the flickering and bulb failure alarms.

The strange thing is the failure buzz and message doesn't appear. Thanks for the info though, I'll see what I can do!
