Headlight flickering

Headlight flickering
My high beams started flickering a couple of weeks ago and as of yesterday the same for the low beams. Both lights flash on and off intermittently.
This started when I was driving through a deluge and massive thunderstorm and fee weeks ago. Not sure if related.
I'm assuming this could be a relay going bad?
Maybe something else?
I'll have to get into the manual and see where the relay is located.
Any help greatly appreciated.

So going through the manual it would appear that perhaps there is a headlamp relay in the Central Junction Box in the passenger compartment (RH side, NAS spec??).
Can someone tell me if this is serviceable or not? I couldn't find anything that says specifically where in the CJB the relay is and if one can be purchased separately.
Thanks all.

My first suspect is the ballast. Your car has a Xenon headlamp, and the ballast converts the A/C current to DC current to be able to power up the HID bulb's igniter. Flickering headlights is the classic symptom of a failing ballast. This part is serviceable, and is usually found on the bottom side of the headlight.
