disco strobe xenons

'58 9-5

When I switch off the headlamps they spend 2-3 seconds flickering on-and-off light a strobe, before eventually powering off. This doesn't happen all the time, but appears to be fairly random and can happen after short (<10 miles) or long (>100 miles) journeys

Not yet had a chance to check if there are any codes showing but any thoughts on what I ought to be looking at

TIA

Nothing to worry about.  It's normal.

Thanks, will get some Swedish techno to accompany the effect

It's just the ballast discharging.  You can stop it if you turn off the ignition before the lights - or the other way around!!

Mine does exactly the same. I did however noticed a difference when I cleaned the connectors on the front & rear levelling arms.
As for Swedish Techno, OK everyone, sing along, you know the words... ideally in the voice of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets

Just noticed the similarity between his eye brows and the headlamps of a DE 9.5.
