Hello everyone,

I need a bit of help.
My passenger side headlight (LED Toyota GT86 headlight) is flickering on low beam setting, from time to time. The high beam and the LED are fine.

The xenon bulbs seem to have the same intensity and color which makes me think the bulb could still be alright. But I'll try swapping them.

The ceiling bulb in the interior is flickering/buzzing strangely as well when I'm powering off the car. It always buzzes when fading off when stepping out of the vehicle (typical diming light sound), this is normal but here it flickers and buzzes even before which makes me think it could be a problem of fuse or something... or bad electrical connection.

Things I'll try as soon as I have time:
- swapping bulbs
- replacing the ceiling light bulb

Do you have any idea of what it could be?
I tapped a couple of times on the bumper near the headlight during the past months to replace the bumper as it sometimes pop off a little. Maybe it fucked something up somehow but it doesn't explain the ceiling bulb that acts strangely as well (the car is a 2012MY so maybe it's time for that bulb to go to bulbs paradise).

Thank you for your help in advance.
Wil
