Default HID flickering 2013 LX 570

I have flickering coming from my HID low beams, it's driving me nuts. What are the possible causes and what are the best solutions...
Please help, it's like an 80's disco night when I drive!

The cause is an intermittent electrical connection somewhere between the battery and the HID low beams.

I'd start by demating any connectors you can find, cleaning them, and remating.

Default Flickering HID 2013 LX570

Thank you for your comments, I believe it is only the drivers side. I have somewhere to start this weekend. I love my LX but nothing is easy and or simple with the beast.
thanks again

Original post noted an issue with "bulbs"....

Given it's now only the drivers side, I'd try replacing the bulb there as a start.

I'm having the same problem. The OP hasn't been on here since the day after they posted this. Has anyone else come across this problem? I've seen a post on ih8mud about it as well. Our left low beam either flickers or jiggles when going over even the slightest bumps. Two brand new OEM ballasts and bulbs and the same problem remains. Grounds, connector on right fender, fuses and relays are good.

If u suspect it's the HID bulbs, just switch bulbs around (left / right) and see if the issue transfer to the other side... if so then it's the bulb. If the issue stays on the same side, then it's something else...I would suspect the ballast. Check voltage output and input at the ballast.
