Headlight Flicker
I'm assuming these are HID lights? If so, I had a similar problem with just the left head light. First I cleaned the the ground connections, which did help but didn't completely cure the problem. I then ordered two new bulbs, (D1S), which have the igniters mounted on the back, that completely cured the problem. Your bulbs are now about seven years old and maybe the igniters get weak? They will certainly have lost a lot of their output, I do know that my new bulbs were dramatically brighter. On a side note, these bulbs can be replaced in about 15 minutes without removing the front bumper, although it is a little awkward.

from the gallery, I'd shout it's likely both normal AND common......(Now making note to self to avoid HID lamps in future used-car purchases as it appears they don't last beyond the "break-in" period, hehe)

Thanks everyone, I noticed today with the help of the car in front of me that it's the passenger light, I'm going to replace them both and see how it goes. I find it weird how it flickers more when I approach a vehicle on the highway, they probably think I'm telling them to get out of my way (even though that's what is running through my head)
