Bi-Xenon headlight fault indicator

[Eldad Cohen]

This light come on after about 5-10 min. driving. One light (driver side) get's off, the other stays on but eventually turns off. When I restart the engine, both light are on again and I go through the same cycle.
Is there a way to know if this is the sensors and if, yes, is it the front or the rear? I looked at the front one, everything looks good, except the link arm ball joint, was a bit stiff, I loosed it but problem didn't go away, didn't check the back yet.
This is a 2003 9-5 Aero.

Thanks
Eldad

Thread moved to the workshop forum so perhaps better luck there.

There's some information and pictures on the thread on this section titled "[FONT=arial]Trip preperation. Any tips?" that might be useful.

When did you change the bulbs? Could they be bad? My 2002 with 250K + hasn't had that problem . . . yet, but when the bulbs get old then do tend to go off and come back on. I think I've only replaced once, but need to again now.[/FONT]

I have changed the bulbs few years ago when I got a clear indication that the bulb is gone. I didn't think that this is the case here since the light flickers and does come back on. I will go back and replace the light first before I try to replace the sensors. Thanks for the reply.
