I went to the dealer in the am. They are putting back the oem bulbs. Apparently the warning light is gone and they are recommending that I never install the ibrights again. I should be getting the car back in the aftrernoon...
What puzzles me is that I had them on for over 4 months without the warning light showing, but I noticed flickering when I started the car every morning...could this be really the problem
