Default Driver side HID turns on then shuts off?

Based off what you've encountered or seen on the forums, do you think this is a bulb or ballast problem?

My driver side turns on whenever I turn on the car, then after a few minutes, it'll shut off. If I turn off the headlights and turn them back on, it'll go back on for another minute then shut off again. Any idea?

I had this a couple of months ago. Bulb was bad, and needed to be replaced. $212 @ the dealer.

I've had this happen to the driver side (warranty covered) and passenger side (bought the OEM bulb for $70)
