Intermittent Headlight Problem
I have a 2006 IS350 with the upgraded 2012 headlights (stripped) from Sewell and Philips 6000K Ultinon bulbs. Occasionally, the passenger-side head light bulb will refuse to turn on for short periods at a time.
Does anyone know if this would be symptomatic of a bad headlight housing, bad ballast, bad bulbs, or something else?

My passenger headlight was out again tonight, so I swapped the light bulbs as @idoke1 suggested. Afterward, both headlights started working again. However, check this out: http://imgur.com/a/8APzK
The passenger ballast connector looks pretty messed up (even though it still works). Also, the passenger-side light bulb had some strange discoloration compared to the driver-side light bulb.
I'm leaning toward getting new passenger-side ballast — I doubt the connector comes separately. Anyone have any better ideas?
