Original xenon (AFL) flickers and sometimes blacks out

[Thomza]

Hi all!

First timer with xenons, so may be a silly question...
My left xenon headlamp has begun flickering - sometimes almost unnoticeable (you can see it on a white wall at stillstand), other times it blacks all the way out, but it has always lit up again after a couple of seconds.

I thought xenon bulbs had the tendency to "fade" out/over to purpel'ish color when burned out.

What do you think it sounds like?
1: loose connection?
2: bulb faulty or burnt out?
3: ballast faulty?

Try to swap ballasts between headlights if problem persist then bulbs but my guess will be ballast is on way out

If it is the ballast, is that considered as a wearing part?
I still got a guarantee on the car, maybe I should try get them to fix that?

Ballast should be covered under warranty , try switching bulbs first if doesn't work let them sort it out

I will try that!
Thank you!
