I also have the headlight flickering issue that I can see when stopped behind another car. I think this may also be one of those issues that are "normal". Just remember that nothing in this world is "Perfect".

No your headlight should not be flickering...xenon's due that before they expire.

One of mine got to the point where I could notice it when driving at night with no other cars around...now with one new bulb, one headlight is blueish the other is whiteish...very classy. Although I guess I don't care since it is still living at the dealer...

They have been like that since I bought the car, around a year ago. I think it has something to do with the leveling of the lamps as well as it does seem to stop once the car is stopped. The dealer did check this out as well and they could not find any problems. I guess some new bulbs may be in my future. Seems like you have to pay to play.

Had the same issue. Right light was flickering. (105,000 km)

Dealer changed the right Xenon bulb and rectified the flickering. (CPO warranty )

There is a slight colour variation now between the new right bulb and the left light.

Lifes Good.

Different car, but my 04 touareg I bought new in 04 has a flickering xenon light. Has been doing it since the first year I bought it, still on he original bulbs. I complained every time I brought it in and they said it was OK.

Mine have been flickering since new, too. Now, I have a new issue. The Nav system keeps losing the satellites. Yesterday it showed me driving in the middle of Lake Erie.
May be time for a new vehicle.
Shakes and shudders, flickering lights, nav system gets lost and heater fan squeeks. Maybe even Porsches get tired at 80,000 miles.

Oh, forgot washer fluid leaks out, too!

At least you don't have to worry about unintended acceleration. Althought probably won't matter much if you're in the middle of Lake Erie.
