loose earth.. check the ground from your passenger side head light and you might find that its loosely secured, when it doesnt touch your headlights will flash..

I recently had this using a screw too small for the hole and it had worked loose, flashing people with my high beams as I drove.

Is the headlight a HID ? if so, low voltage to that balast.
