well usually it's the bulbs, the best way to find out is to swap bulbs left and right and see if the failure "goes with the bulbs". if so, you just need to replace it. make sure you replace both although the other one is ok, coz' otherwise the color will be different

factory hid is 4100-4300k. make sure you get philips stuff, and the type is d2r
