Hey MC family, I need your help! My left headlight is having issues. I have an 06 MC with after market headlights which came with the car when I bought it. I do not have any way to know what bulbs are in the car. I went to a Salvo Auto Parts and they couldn't help me. They said my bulb is out but it flickers on and off when I turn the headlights on. How can I find out what kind of bulbs are in the headlight? And if the light flickers on for a second then go off after is the bulb really burned out?

 

Hi Digger, (Vera)
Do you happen to know what type of aftermarket light kit that was installed ? Did you check for shorts in the wiring/connections ?
Do you know the previous owner & can you contact them ?

Check back on your thread question/problems & hopefully one of our many member's that have installed aftermarket headlights can assist..
Wish you Good Luck & working lights

 

Sounds like you have HIDs in your Monte! I've had them in my Monte for years and I have finally had the same issue as you. HIDs are finicky and require steady voltage. As our cars age, the voltage can sometimes quiver. HIDs hate that and flicker and shut off. A simple wire harness will fix it. It wires your HID kit to the battery instead of running it off of your stock wiring. Fixed mine. Hope this helps. If you need help wiring just private message me.
