What the Flick!

My dudes! In the drive-thru of Burger King this evening and my right headlight starts to flicker, then zap, out for the count. I turn it off and turn it on after 10 seconds, right headlight is back in effect. 10 seconds later, flicker and then zap out. I try it again so hope not to annoy the guy in front of me, it stays on for a few seconds and then yup, you guessed it, no go at all.

How long does it for service to repair such a thing? I've never had this happen to me before. Gotta call the service dept and get this fixed ASAP before I ship out for good to NC...

Another guy whose job got shipped to NC? Charlotte or Raleigh?

Definitely ask the dealer look at it.

sounds like a balast problem. if it was a bulb problem, would just go out and not come back on.

maybe one of the balasts got fried?

I would agree and it sounds like an issue with the ballasts but keep us posted.
