Default Bad driver-side HID

After about 10 minutes of driving with them on, the light flickers a few times, then fizzles out. Come back on for a similar cycle if I flick them off-on. Lexus service says they have to replace that whole assembly.

Any others have similar problems?

Angry Same Here

Same thing had happened to me, also on the driver's side. The dealer told me was bad HID bulb, so they replaced with a new one.

Now it is working perfectly, except now they are in two different color. Hopefully the color will matched when both are burned-in.
