To help isolate the cause of the problem, try swapping the ballasts to the other ....m
side, if the opposite side headlight now is the problem unit, then it's probably the ballast. If the problem stays at the original side, next swap the D1S lamp side to side and recheck. On the chance the flicker moved with the lamp, then it's the lamp that's bad. Finally, the last thing to switch out for diagnostic testing is the central electric control module located under the steering column. That module employs solid state semiconductor transister switches/relays, and controls the current load switching for the lighting system. The CECM has a history of various failures.
