Xenon headlight problems (hey AeroMAP)

AeroMAP, what became of your xenon cutting out problem? Like your 43 month old '02 Aero, my 41 month old Aero (and Gary's '02 Aero), I'm having the left headlight go out for just a second or two, then comes back on.
This completely turning off is a recent problem, and has only happened a couple of times. Previously, however for the past few years, I have noticed the headlight occassionally appearing to flicker. I don't know for sure that it was actually flickering, or if the leveler was bouncing it. I complained to dealer at an under-warranty oil-change service and they couldn't find a problem, said it was probably just the leveler. I tried unsucessfully to convince them that there was something wrong with it.
I complained again when I took the car in at 49,500 miles for some little warranty work. You know, the usual things, rough idle (automatic), missing pixels, clicking sunroof when closing. Originally they told me that a arm on the xenon leveler was bad and they'd have to order it. When I took it back in, they then told me that they replaced an engine mount, that was causing the rough engine, consequently causing the headlight leveler to bounce. Sounded good, too bad it didn't fix the problems.
So I'm now out of warranty, but since I've documented complaints, I'm hoping that they might be able to compensate. I'm just afraid that if I wait until it goes out completely (to prove that there is something wrong), that it will wait until some night-time blizzard to happen.
