Chrysler 300C OEM HID Headlight Problem Malfunction Hazzard

Chrysler 300C have a serious SAFETY Issue. Its OEM HID Headlights are know to flicker on/off independently and randomly. Dealer "Cannot Replicate" and does not know how to fix. It can cause a serious accident while driving in the middle of the night or during bad weather. More needs to be done about it by DCX.

how the hell to i fix this problem

[puertomohican]

The dealer must replace all the Components of the headlight. I believe its the Ballast thats the problem. So, switching out the bulb alone will not do it.

Some people should be put on a ONE WAY space shuttle and sent to outter space. I am a member of the 300 club in Chicago. There is about 30 of us and I have never heard of this. I bought my 05 300C back in April of 2004. I currently have about 56K on the dash and I have not had ANY problems other than a recall with something to do with the radiator (that was paid for by Chrysler). ANYWAYS, sorry puertomohican, your flickering headlamps sound like a personal problem to me...

I dont think DCX only built 30 300's. I never said it happens to every 300 out there. But it is not an isolated case. I know of atleast 10 other people that have the same problem. So, have a nice trip on your ONE WAY to space... You people are so ignorant.

Dont jump this guy you loser. Chrysler is the worst car company for repair hands down. (Read the customer return survey information). That is the reason Mercedes dumped them. You must be some hack rep for them. WARNING Dont buy chrysler or dodge!

For some reason the adhesive would stop sticking and come loose on both ends but stay stuck in the middle. I went back to the dealership where I bought it 7 times....the last time they put another new spoiler on it and baked it in a paint booth to get it to forum to the trunk, still came loose. Finally I got mad enough and MADE them buy me a trunk mount spoiler that I know will never come off. Other than that, no issues.

I bought my '07 300C SRT brand new, 3 miles on it, paid cash....I have almost 60K on the ticker and have had no issues with any part of the car. I'll outrun almost anything on the street. Actually, I lied...I had recurring problems with the factory spoiler on the trunk continually coming loose.

I've had my 2009 Chrysler 300C for two years now and have put 90K miles on it. I spend a ton of time in that car. I've had a GMC Yukon Denali XL, Chevy Silverado 3500 Duramax Turbo Diesel, Mercedes Benz SL 500, Ford F250 Super Duty, Toyota Highlander & Camry, Hyundai Tiburon, & Pontiac TA and NONE of them have been as good to me as this Chrysler. My mother and I went at the same time to buy new cars. We got her into a 2009 Dodge Avenger SRT, and me into the 2009 Chrylser 300C. Both no problems.

@puertomohican I apologize for coming off as an *sshole. I still have a video uploaded of my 300C but I no longer own that vehicle. I guess thats what I get for being insensitive to your issue because mine shortly after had an issue. While driving between 25 and 35 mph, the tachometer and mph gauges would flip back and forth really fast like windshield wipers and then return to normal. Whatever, hope you and your C are doing well.

[caddyman07]

@TonyMitchelldotnet I didnt make fun of him. I DID come off as being insensitive to his (and your) issue and I apologize for that.

And yes. Although the 05 was the first year for the 300, the C offered HID's. I also had (no longer own that car anymore) the headlamp washers. Its on my uploaded videos. The 300M Special edition from 04 (previous generation) even offered HID's.

[TonyMitchelldotnet]

@caddyman07 GO ON THAT ONE WAY SHUTTLE! I have an 07 SRT8 300C that does the same thing. If you go on most of the forums, it's a very common problem.

It's my only problem with 40K on the odometer.

Don't put a guy down or make fun because he has a problem and you don't. HUNDREDS of us have this problem. And if you don't have the HID option you might not run into this. Was the 05 even offering HID?

Ok I got a question would to high of a light bulb wattage and somthing in the light bulb is jingling around? Stock should be 55W and im running 100W should i go lower would that not overload the system and get rid of the flicker.

@caddyman07

I have to call Bullshit on your comment about the flickering lights on the 300. I have this same flickering problem with my 300 and have been looking for a solution for several months. If you google chrysler flickering lights, you will see dozens of people looking for a resolution to a problem that chrysler says doesn't exist.

[blaxican916]

@puertomohican I am now having this issue myself, did you get yours fixed? If so what exactly did they do and what did it run you $-wise? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated as this one is really perplexing me, I have an 06' Chrysler 300C.

[Taylormayd02]

I have an 08 and mine is doing the same shit. If this can't be fixed. I need to get my money back ASAP. Just had the HID put in 2 days ago. Working with my second kit from installer.
