Started car as normal yesterday evening, switched headlights on (switch all the way clockwise) and the headlights turned on as normal, a second later they turned off then another second later turned on then off and finally on. Worked as normal for 20min trip home.
All this happened within like 3/4 seconds.
Played about with it to replicate the problem but could not (pulling the switch to activate the fog light and back in again to disengage it and turning clockwise to engage main beam then of again).
This morning started car again was daylight but wanted to check whilst car was facing garage door - same thing, lights went on, off, on, off then on.
Could the cold weather be causing this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Car has xenons and the adapative beam/intell light sys.
Xenons still seem to emit bright white light. Never use the 'auto' function.
I know of the w212 headlight switch problem and tempted to get a used one of Ebay to swap out.
