Mike, welcome to the club. Seems this is a common problem with the Bi-Xenon lights, especially the "Adaptive" versions. First time it happened to me, I was out $900.00 at the dealer. He only changed the bulbs. About two months later, they were doing it again. My opinion is that most times, it is simply a bad connection at the bulb. BE CAREFUL!. You need to be sure the light switch is in the off position. It is better still to disconect the battery, then switch the lights on to drain any energy left in the transformer, then check the bulb connections. As for getting at the bulb connections, the right side is easy. Just pull the air cleaner box. On the left side, well, one fellow said you can get at it if you loosen the front cover at the top, and carefully pull it away a few inches from the car, using an assistant to hold the cover while you work.

Makes those old junk American cars seem attractive all of a sudden, huh?
