Flickering Headlights
Anyone have this issue on their 2G RLs? I've had it very intermittently but have had a hard time replicating it at the dealer. If anyone has or had this issue, what was the cause and solution? Thanks.

It's the bulb.
If you give it time, it'll get conjunctivitis for a couple of weeks to signal you to change it. Then it'll go back to normal until it dies.

I recommend to always replace in pair. Otherwise the other one's color will be colder. (Bluish) Keep the non flickering one as spare.

I hate intermittent headlight issues like this, makes it harder to diagnose. I’d usually recommend swapping components from side to side but given how sporadic this seems to be (?) that might present a challenge...

Turk is right about the color. Besides, no reason to hassle with sourcing the same part twice. If one has reached the end of its life, the other one's the same age, so no point screwing around.
