06' E90 angel eye flashing.... does anybody know how I can fix this? (VIDEO)

Does anybody know how I can fix this or what the problem might be? I changed the bulb about 6 months ago and it has been working fine up until about 2-3 weeks ago. When my headlights are on for about 20 minutes it starts to flash and if i turn them off and back on immediately, it will flash after like 5 seconds. Flashing never stops. HELP PLEASE!?
VIDEO of what I mean...

What aftermarket bulb do you have? That may be an overvoltage warning being there may be too much power being applied to it. Just a thought.

Sounds like a bad driver. Get back in touch with **********s and exchange your units.

But before we go extreme...let's check the connections. clean off the connections on both ends with a q tip and a little rubbing alcohol, just to make sure there's no debris or anything that could be causing a problem (unlikely but...gotta go through the steps you know?)
