Headlights flicker when cold.
 
I started the 931 tonight after sitting outside all day in the cold. For the first minute or two the headlights kinda flickered, they were not going off and on just a little brighter and dimmer at a rate of about once per second. Somebody please tell me that this is an easy fix.................I don't really want to rewire/redesign the entire car.

See this is what happens when you take your car out of the nice heated shop that its used to living in!!!!!!!!!!!

And...now the dam thing is filthy, thats it, nevermind I'll just put it back inside re-polish it and let it rest!!!!!!!!!:D

well my car starts sluggish if left out in the cold. It has a new battery and starter, and all the terminals are clean. It could be just the alternator trying to handle the load of all the lights when the battery is very cold. Electricity flows well at cold temperatures, but not through old wiring.

How does the car start?

The car starts very good in the cold. Not sure why, it just does.

my guess would be, that the cold made the connectors Shrink just the slighteset bit and wasent getting the best connection to the Headlight. Just fiddle with the headlight connector in the back and make sure its on there securly

Well, its not just the headlights though. The tail and dash lights do the exact same thing...:(
