I just noticed something weird...

When i turn on my headlights, the top row of lights on the switch, blink in a pattern that looks like morris code. After awhile the blinking stops, and the lights go out completely. It stays that way, until i turn have turned the car off and restarted her.

The headlamps and foglamps are all operating correctly.

AS an example, I have attached a picture of the switch, and the top row of lights that i am talking about...

Thanks again!

Your car obviously has a severe malfunction and should not be driven under any circumstances.

When I turn on my headlights, the normal backlighting illuminates all the icons around the **** as well as everything on the dash, etc. No blinking. No secret messages.

 

You are not alone.

I noticed my lights blinking about 2 weeks ago. I'll ask the dealer's service dept when I take it in soon for the oil change.

 

This is an interesting thread. Mine does the same thing. When first turned on the lights illuminate and everything functions as it should, then the light does a fluttering blink and goes out. Just in that top row on the bezel. I though about replacing the switch. The bulbs are not burnt,I think it is a loose pin connector or something. Let me know what the dealer says.
