Hello all,
I've recently purchased an S4 (private sale) and have found that both the headlights start strobing rapidly after driving around. If I park up and turn the car off then on again they go back to working fine for a short while.
I understand this is likely to be a ballast or bulb issue, but as it's happening in both headlights simultaneously I wonder if there may be something else that may be the cause.
As I don't know the full history of the car due to it having a few previous owners it may just be that only one had the problem initially and now both do, but I thought I'd ask before replacing the parts as they're obviously not a cheap bit a kit.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
