My headlight cutting out every few seconds (ET2). It didn't go completely out but was very dim for a second. Do I need a new bulb? I did a search on this forum and couldn't find anything. Maybe it's a dumb question, but it's a real pain to get it to the shop. Is it simple enough to replace a bulb myself?

At first glance, without any information---I would think it may be a lose wire issue causing your light to flicker. If the bulb were bad---it would/should have completely burned out. If you open the headlight housing check the connections.....a wire might be loose.

Oh yes! This is a very simple job mate. Loose wire me thinks.

Don't go to a shop to have a bulb replaced, (Insert you thoughts here)

Pm me and i will talk ye through it over the phone.

That simple.

Cheers
