Your problem could be due to the bulb connector, ignitor or the ballast that is going out. To rule out a bulb issue, switch the passenger side bulb to the drivers side, and vice versa. If the problem follows the bulb, then it it a faulty or dead bulb. If the problem stays even with the bulb change, then it could be the other pieces I mentioned above

^ Correct. That's the way to go about HID issues.

Where did you get the replacement bulbs?
