I had flickering xenons for a while particularly from cold and the issue deffo got worse in the cooler months, then i replaced the bulbs and it hasn't done it since. I suspect it's bulb related like mine

Mine also does this, intermittently which is a pain, thought it was a loose connection, never really bother my hump to sort it, best get on it now the dark evenings are drawing in.
Now to ask for more over time to pay for more bits for the motor.

I ended up getting a set of better than OEM phillips bulbs, I think they were approx £90.00....

worth it though :)
