Xenon headlight flickering

The passenger side Xenon headlight started flickering on my A4. If I had to guess I would say the ballast..... any other suggestions?

Try swapping the bulb or the ballast from one side to the other and see if the flickering follows a component from side-to-side.

if you have the d1s bulbs replace the bulb, you can tell by the square unit attached behind very common problem we stock 20 at all times because of this
or swap them side to side to make sure

trouble shoot it with the swap method said above.

most cases, the flicker is the bulb going. from my experience
DDM tuning has some great replacements. A bad ballast would be no strike of the lamp. IMO
