I'm having this problem lately where the headlights flicker up and down rapidly when I'm driving along, (it's not a smooth road mind you). Anyways, is there something in the headlight housing I should check out like the adjustment mechanism or something? I'm guessing it's my shocks, since I'm at 107K and am still running on the originals. TIA.

i would think its a headlight problem that volvo has recalled. there is a connector or sumthing that is not fitted well or sumthing. not sure. i THINK this might be your problem.

Technical Service Bulletin. I checked your link, that's not it. My problem has nothing to do with the lights flickering (as in dimming). It's bouncing up and down. I found the TSB though. Here's the link: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/index.cfm

Do a visual inspection of the clip that holds the bulb in place 90 percent of the time that is the cause of the flicker. I had the same problem on a S40 and that was the problem.

I know!!! I've been saying this for months now. Hopefully, once they get it fixed Friday, I'll be able to hook it up during the weekend and snap some shots. Here's a preview of just the E-code: (bandwidth warning)

Yep, that'll do. Now imagine that extremely white (bling bling - this weekend)
