Second, if it's and LX than it's the actual headlight switch. I drove for 2 months pulling it out hold out the window cool off then plug back in NO JOKE. All you have to do is pull out a bit then look in and there is a clip, just stick a screw driver in and pry outward. Very easy, and don't piss around with old ones, or just cooling it off, I've done both a new one cost me $40.00CDN after 15%TAX so it's not worth the hassle. I do grab spare ones whenever I can though, you never know eh.
Yeah, I'm betting all my money on that answer. I can try all I want to make it flicker when I first turn on the lights by turning it on and off, switching turn signal, high beam/low beam, etc, but it won't do it nothing. ONLY when I have been driving one for a long distance w/ the lights the whole time does it start flickering.
Thanks again for your (plural) input.
