HID Flickering Covered Under Warranty?

HID's are flickering. I've ready several post in regard to how it happens and why, but does anyone know if this is covered under the warranty? I'm sure this a pretty simple question, but I want to know if it is or rather I should pursue in purchasing new ones....

warranty questions are best answered by the dealer.

all the times I took mine there they were able to find nothing and refused to dig deeper unless I took all aftermarket hid and led off the car.

might be easier for you to get a set of new bulbs and put em in...but you can always check to see if your dealer is nicer than mine.

My dealer was unable to mimic the same situation I was having in regard to the HID's flickering. I'll just possibly buy my own HIDS and put it in myself. It's bugging the crap out of me.

Do you notice it when going over bumps? Mine would flicker from time to time under idling, but then I started to notice that it almost always flickered when I go over bumpy roads. So, I brought my car back to the dealer and told them to drive on bumpy roads to reproduce the flickering - which they did and replace the driver headlight under the warranty.

Note: your lights will have different brightnesses, so you may want to get your other light changed at the same time.
