Im going with this is a power issue. Alternator output, battery cell low on juice, too many accessories wired into the same circuit.

These are all possibilities. But explain to me why tugging on the harness or tapping on the housing stops it? We are not talking about flicker either, the light is cutting all the way out and almost looks like a strobe light.

For your specific issue; its a short. something, somewhere, is loose, broken, bent, and causing an arc. Your anti-flicker harness may be the issue, or it may be internally in the headlight.

No anti flicker harness here but my drivers side light turns off every now and again, I just zip tied the harness up and it fixed the problem

And for HID's I would for sure be doing that because they consume more power. But these are LEDs and shouldn't need that additional power.

Keep in mind, I only did that once, I haven't tried to duplicate smacking the light.

The only things that are on this circuit are the headlights. I have nothing else hooked up to them.

And the only other things I have in the Jeep are an aftermarket radio, and the remote start which the constant power is wired off off 8 gauge power wire directly coming from the battery.

Is the remote start hooked into the lighting system at all? maybe a vampire tap in a lead?

Only to the parking lights, nothing to the headlights.

I have personally tapped the light housing and had the light turn on. Everything points to a bad connection somewhere.

Pull the fuse for the RECENTLY added remote start are see if it affects the lights in any way. If the problem goes away then you have your answer. Maybe when they put it in the tagged off the wire for some reason? to activate lights? Maybe that is the issue.

ahfunaki

Yea, I'll have to give it a try. If it does fix the issue that isn't a good thing though, lol...

And I actually did the install myself ( it's what I do for a living ) so I know that the headlights weren't tapped into at all.
