I am in need of assistance. This will be my first car with HID and short of buying parts does anyone know how to trouble-shoot the HID lighting. I have a right light that turns on and off and then stays off. I figured it would be a bump I hit or something but it usually goes out after being on a 1/2 hour or so. I thought these items were 3000 hour items? I am at roughly half life at 170,000 miles. I am looking at 450.00 for a ballast and 100.00 for a bulb is this the only way to trouble shoot headlights? Hell this car does everything and wipe you butt. You would think it would tell me I had a bad bulb.

Thanks
