Headlight problems with a 2018 Mitsubishi Triton

Asked by Sheryl

We have had headlight problems in our 2018 Mitsubishi Triton for five years. They keep flicking from headlights to parking lights. All wiring has been checked out and is fine. It's cost us a lot of money but we still have no answers.

Diagnosing electrical problems remotely is a hiding to nowhere, but conventional wisdom says the wiring, earths and related switches are the first place to start. But modern vehicles also rely on body computers to control some of these functions, so that's worth a check, too.

I can only hope you raised and logged this issue with Mitsubishi when it first started happening. If you did, you have what's called a pre-existing condition under the factory warranty terms. If the problem first surfaced five years ago, that would place the flickering occurring from about 2019. Which means, as a 2018 vehicle, it would have been covered by the Mitsubishi warranty. Even if the car subsequently runs out of warranty, a pre-existing condition is still legally required to be fixed by the car's manufacturer.
