Wm Caprice 6L

Being a Caprice, are they HID bulbs?
Maybe the driver has failed.

Hi All, I get a problem every now & again with the driver's side low beam on my WN Caprice, all I do to turn the lamp back on is flick the light switch on & off a couple of times, it always works. I have seen this a couple of times on other Caprices

On My WN Caprice V where the car lives in the garage and when I unlock the car the headlights turn on (thats normal) for a few seconds but what I noticed with the reflection on the inside panel door on the house is the two Beams Left and right go down than come up with 4 seconds and when this is going on I hear a noise like a motor or something similar.

Its the self leveling system for HID's going through their start up check.
