Is this in auto mode?

Have you got Xenon lights? The symptoms you describe are similar to either a bulb or ballast failure on Xenon lamps.

However this normally only happens on one side. I assume both lights switch on & off at the same time or is it just one side?

 

[susieh91]

No ther just normall lights not xeons.. Both lights go off and the light on the dash also Gos off wen also. Only happens for about 2 seconds and all comes back on then!

The light switches fail on early 204's. Also the light sensors are common!
