Xenon headlight randomly goes out
 
I noticed the other day that my passenger headlight was out when I got home. I turned the headlights off, then back on and it was working again. I left them on for a few minutes and then noticed the passenger light was off again.

Where would I start with troubleshooting this? Does this seem to be a bulb or ballast issue?

Thanks

Well this can happen when you use cheap aftermarket bulbs. But it can also be the ballast, I had one go out, I have a thread here somewhere about replacing it.

I bought the car used in 2011 so I'm not sure if they're aftermarket bulbs or not.

Time to pull a bulb and see. The oem bulbs are Phillips bulbs.

I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight when I get home tonight. Do you by chance know the part number for the OEM Phillips bulbs?

No, but they are Phillips D2S bulbs.
