Hid headlights on my truck flicker significantly, and dim and brighten, while driving vehicle on bumpy surfaces. This is brand new truck with 2500 miles on it. I paid extra for the all terrain version. GMC's official response to me is that it is normal for hid headlights to flicker on/off, and they are refusing to do anything about the issue.
