headlight flicker
Very much enjoying my newly acquired CPO sc430 but there's a strange thing that I noticed: When I go over a short-bump or hit a patch of broken pavement, the driver's side headlight seems to flicker for just a split-second. Sometimes it even seems like the other one flickers too. Does anyone have any ideas what that can be? Is it normal for this car?
Also, my car has the dreaded brake-clunk that has been discussed in this forum ad nauseum. Is it worth taking it to the dealer even assuming they know how to adjust the clips and grease the system to get rid of it? How long does the "fix" last? I had a 2004 acura TL that did this from day 1 but only on the initial brake application after starting the engine. The SC does it every time I shift from D into R etc.
Thanks!

2007sc430,
That's normal for 06+ model due to the fact that they have auto level head lights (AFS).
Everytime you make a turn (left or right) your head lights/projectors turn to that direction. Also, everytime you go over some bumps or uneven roads, you'd notice the experience you have described above
. That's what I believe it is. Take care !!!

The flickering is back....but only on passenger side and much more severely. I recently had the entire headlamp assembly changed for an unassociated reason. I mentioned the flickering and the tech said that he would replace that bulb with one of his demo bulbs. Can it just be the bulb? or maybe some bad wiring to the headlight? I noticed that the bad side is also not as blue as the other. Ive searched forum and can't find much on this issue. I can't believe I'm the only one who has experienced this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
