Hi there.
Recently I noticed my headlights would occasionally flicker when I turned a corner. I thought nothing of it. But more recently It has become a lot more noticeable as whenever I gently nudge the indicator stalk, the lights will flicker. The flickering appears to stop once the headlights are turned on all the time.
Im not sure if this is any help but I notice that the lights flickering coincides with a clicking noise coming from my passanger side. The clicking noise doesn't occur when I turn the lights on or off normally. Only when the stalk is wobbled.

Any idea what's going off??
Thanks
 
I think you’re referring to cornering lights - it’s meant to happen.

Basically, when you indicate left, or turn left with headlights on, your left fog light will come on to help you see the kurb. It’s the same when indicating/turning right.

The click will be the relay box turning the fog light on.

You can switch it off in the settings menu if you want, just press the menu button near the headlight adjustment buttons.

Sounds like a faulty stalk switch to me. Most Puntos don't have cornering lights and they are the fog lghts not headlights.
Decent diagnostics like Multiecuscan www.multiecuscan.net will tell you for sure. If you are near Cambridge I can test it for you.
