Hey got a problem with my APC Headlight Projectors. I recently started having this problem. The headlights starts blinking (turning off and back on) for no aparent reason! I know there's a short in the wiring somewhere but how bad is it? Has anyone had this problem?

I'm also guessing it might have to do with my battery. I couldn't start up my car for awhile before but leaving the car running for an hour or so fixed that problem up and never had the problem again. It doesn't make sense for the battery to be the problem because then the lights would dim out, not blink.

Any advice or suggestions are all appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like a Short to ground. Take an Ohm meter and with your car turned off start at all positive sides of your wires and check for a ground. While checking for a ground shake the wires to see if you have an intermittent short. Once you find a path to ground start working your way back while disconnecting wires to find out where your ground is.
