My passenger side headlamp started to flicker upon turning the headlights on, about 3 months ago.

It wasn't that big of an issue, but now the lamp "puts on a light show" as my girlfriend says. Once you turn them on, the drivers side lights up right away and remains on. The passenger side ingites fine, but then flickers an orangeish blue color up to 10 times before it remains constant on.

It's getting to the point where it's embarassing to turn on the headlights in the presence of others.

The retailer that I purchased from said to check for corrosion on your headlamp relay. I am not exactly sure what to look for??? Is this relay under the hood?

The ballasts, igniters, and bulbs seem fine.

Help!

Hey, I think I saw you turn your lights on the other day...I am in Sammamish. Anywho...their is a wiring diagram and shop manual posted in this section up at the top. I would start there.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Is the relay failing? Do they fail with regular halogen bulbs?
Do you think he was suggesting a replacement?
