Question about LUX H8 Flicker

My E90 LCI does flicker upon startup however I have been noticing that the headlights are flickering just during normal driving. I do have my DRL's off and I don't want to take the change that a cop thinks I have strobes! LOL

Anyone ever have this issue?

It's normal. You can disable the bulb checks with coding if it bothers you.

It's not normal to have the headlights flicker during normal driving.

I have the LUX H8 and it doesn't do it for me.

It flickers due to the car checking the bulbs as you drive. There is a cold check when you first start the car and it checks again about 10-15min into driving.

Coding will turn this off so they dont flicker. If your actual headlights are flickering then you might have a ballast or igniter issue.
