I have a issue with my halos flickering a few times when I start my car. It used to be both sides but now its just the passenger side does it. Its only just started to do it which is weird. I have upgraded my halo bulbs with white ones but that was a few month ago and they have worked fine up to a few days ago. I don't start my car with the lights switched on so its not that.

Ive also been having a lot of battery drainage warnings showing but was told its to do with the battery lead and Ive had it changed under the recall. Ive also noticed that everytime I start my car now the idrive tells me to insert the sat nav disc which is odd as its already inserted.

Im hoping someone can suggest something.

Im thinking that maybe it is a battery fault? But would a battery fault cause the halo flickering? The halos work fine whilst switched on, no flickering.

Maybe a loose connection on the halo bulb connectors?

Please help.

I will, I was hoping I wouldn't have to as to check them thoroughly would mean removing the headlight again and that was a good 2 hrs of my life ill never get back but I guess its gunna have to be done.

Ive read that its normal due to the car doing a system check where it sends a small current through to check for any faults and with leds requiring less power than a standard bulb the small current makes them flicker.
