So last night I had an issue with my headlights... I turned them on and they only flickered a few times and then nothing... A few minutes later they came on by themselves... First one side then the other... Weird! Then today they did it again... Nothing on initial start up... And then Bam... Both went on! Bulbs issues or ballasts? 2001 C2 original Litronics stock bulbs... 104000 mile car. Thanks!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The light switch? Especially if both behave the same.
Switch most likely.
I would not have thought about the light switch... Good call... Thank you! Now on the hunt for a new light switch!
Could also be an ignition switch issue
HIDs can pull well over 10 amps for 250+ms during startup. If the electrical system isn't getting powered sufficiently or something else is drawing a lot of current when the HIDs initially try to ignite...
