It's not the best thing to blink xenons on and off constantly. However, the Xenon bulbs and ballasts today are very robust and durable so they can handle a lot more abuse than the old xenon sysems of the past. So far I haven't had any problems with mine when blinking.

It may take a little of the life away but I love the way they look when they fire up
