Audi b7 xenon headlight flicker

Dear fellow audi owners,

I have just purchased a B7 3.0tdi quattro avant, I noticed driving tonight that the xenons flicker. Anyone came across this issue before? 

I've looked online and people are saying the balast is at fault. I can see the bulb has a balast attached is there a secondary balast?

Sorry for silly question but this is the first car I've owned with xenons. 

 

Many thanks in advance

Hi the bulbs in your car are probably 55W D3s or D1s either way the ballast is separate it is most likely at the bottom of the headlight there is no ballast attached to the bulb, the only bulb with the ballast incorporated are 25-35W D5s that is found on much later models.
