Anyone know what could be the problem driver side Hid light bulb flickers sometimes then turns off and when I notice it I usually turn the headlight lever off then on and then both headlights are working again.

I dealt with this same problem for 5+ months. I was away at school so i didn't get around to changing them (read: too lazy or too drunk).(don't drink and drive!)
I turned them off and then back on whenever i drove and after awhile i got use to it. They tell you the ballast may be going bad but i would def change the bulbs first. My problem started a week after i bought some bulbs from some ebay store that was recommended to me on here, but i had a bit of a problem with the warranty... but that's neither here nor there.
I bought a pair of bulbs from amazon (toshibas) for 50 bucks this past summer and boom, problem solved. You should try the bulbs first, at 50 some odd dollars a pair, its worth trying.

When that was happening on my IS250 it turned out to be the ballast.

problem seems fixed I switched the bulbs like XI187IXI suggested in an old thread several years ago
so far so good I hope I just had a loose connection.
Thanks.
