    996 Lithronics headlamps

    Hi I am a newbie and first timer on this board. I have owned a 996 since October of 2000, a great all around car. I have recently noticed my headlamps have a hard time turning on. When they are switched on they strobe slowly and have a hard time to turn on. Usually when turning the switch off/on and try several times they finally turn on. Does anyone else run into this issue before? Any help will be appreciated.

    if you have the xenon lamps, could be that the ballast is going bad

    could be a variety of things, fuses, etc.

    have a dealer check it out.

    Have had the same issue on my 996 turbo. Drove me mad. Dealer fixed it a couple of weeks ago - dodgy fuse, apparently

    Thanks guys for the reply, I will take it...it is still under warranty and at first I thought maybe the balst is going bad. Looked like a florecent light with a bad balast that keeps trying but fails to light up.

    Cheers,
    Matt
