Default Headlight issue

So my right headlight turns on and then off. Then I switch it off and then on and it lights on. Anyone had this issue before?

Haven't checked anything. I just happened to drive my car today and would notice as I drive behind some cars that it kept the right one kept going off. Then I would switch it off and on and would come back on. So basically just trying to find out if anybody else has experienced this before and if so what was the solution.

I'm almost positive it's your ballast starting to die, mine had to be replased some time back and while doing some research I heard of this symptom. Best way to find out for sure would be to remove the headlights and switch the parts ballast/bulbs.. kinda time consuming though. I have a spare ap1 ballast lying around if you need one, I'll give you a good deal.

Yea I have a feeling it's that also. It's so annoying...have to switch them on and off every 3 mins. Shoot me a PM with a price. Thanks in advance
