it is because the 06 projectors use a fresnel lense which has ridges on it which blurs the cutoff and results in no color at the cutoff to cause the flicker effect you see in other cars. Alot of newer projectors are going towards this route. The only way to get the flicker effect is to open up the headlights, and swap the fresnel lense for a clear lense such as from a tsx projector, and mod the shield for some color.

wonder why the Infiniti line of projectors for all the models don't flicker...but most Euro cars' projectors do...weird...I like that flicker affect...seems too much trouble.

DOT(US) is more strict than ECE(Europe) It's not before long they will make European cars confirm DOT specs.
Basically the flicker comes from the split second of time that the color from the cutoff of the projector is seen. If you have slight color on the wall or on the ground at the distance it will flicker. If you have no color at all, it will just appear white. If you have too much color from a thick color band, you will have a consistent color at a distance (blue or purple) and it will not flicker because of how much color there is.
So it's up to your own preference. Read up on the color mod on my sig and you too can make your car lights flicker.
