Default HID Headlight flickering on and off over bumps?

My 3.5GS's HID LHS headlight keeps flickering on and off over bumps.
I don't think the HID globe has blown.
I think there is a fault in the headlight levelling system.
Does anyone know how to repair or replace?

Or is it normal for a faulty HID bulb to intermittently switch on and off over bumps.

I admit my RHS light slightly flickers when I go over bumps too, and I have new headlights (so new ballasts and new bulbs). But the light doesn't turn off, the intensity just varies very quickly for the duration of the bump. But I didn't do a perfect job and I know some screws are loose so I'll see if my mechanic finds anything. It still works fine in the meanwhile.
