Hi all,
One of my headlights stopped working as in not coming on but just flickering, then within a couple of days other one did the same, changed the philips bulbs for replacement compatible d2r bulbs, but both of them flash/flicker but wont come on, i have checked all fuses connections and all looks ok, is there somehting im missing or a common fault? ive done searches but nothing as to other than changing the bulbs comes up? any feedback help would be most appreciated,
Cheers John

With the 33's it's usually dirty contacts on the stalk but your 34 sounds like the ignition/ballast units might have gone to me.
Check the supply to the ignitor/ballast units for constant 12v - if it's constant then it's the ignitors/ballast if it intermittent then its most probably the contacts on the stalk/column in the cabin.

**Don't mess with the output from the ballast unit as you'll probably be looking at 12,000V+!**
