Xenon slight flicker under braking

Over the past few weeks, I'd swear I saw a flicker in the Xenons, but I thought maybe it didn't happen and I was just losing it or my eye flickered weird. Tonight I drove out of a driveway head first and as I hit the brakes, I saw the flicker. I brushed it off as an eyeball thing again. When I got home and hit the brakes to stop (just a sharp stab), it flicked again. I was able to figure out it was the right light and was able to get it to flicker 8/10 times (neighbours probably thought I was an idiot backing down my driveway and speeding towards my garage door, slamming on the brakes. Repeatedly ).

Any ideas on where to start looking? I tried to tap the light with my first to see if something was loose. The one connector seemed good too.

Could be control unit, ignition element or bulb. I'm suspecting not the LCM as it is only one side. That being said, i did notice the driver's side angel eye flicker on start up the other day too. I could be in for an adventure.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
