MY13 Lights - are they faulty

Ive noticed that if I hit a bump or drain cover with my passenger front wheel the drivers side light seems to flicker. There doesnt seem to be anything loose on the headlamp and I was just wondering is this something that is normal or is there a problem?

Does anyone else notice this with their lights

No apparent flickering from my MY13, if it is actually 'flickering' and is not a plug/socket problem then maybe the 'shutter' system is at fault or the reflector has become detached from motor adjuster mountings. Best to get it checked out.

Interesting, I'll deliberately drive over a few drain covers just to see if mine does it.

Swap the bulbs from left to right, and see if the flickering follows to the other headlight,

Faulty bulbs can cause this. Especially on Xenon lights. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
