Lost my drivers side HID bulb today on the way home from work and I can only assume it needs a new bulb. When I turn the car off and then turn it back on, the bulb will turn on for about 30sec and then it shuts off for the remaining duration of the drive. I can only assume that this is how HID's fail or does anyone think it might be a loose connection? Either way, anyone know where I can find the some OEM HID bulbs other than from Lexus?

Thanks for any help!

Typically that is a ballast regulator issue, not so much the bulb. Bulb is getting current and turning on, but the ballast might be overheating or such its thinking it is and shutting off. Might want to check it aswell and any connections b/t bulb and ballast....

^^^^ That's what i wouldve done. Heck I put my stocks back in last night as I was running 8k aftermarkets. Just bought some 5k from v-leds for cheap ($30 for 2)! plus I'm getting new headlights put in tomorrow under warranty. Bubbling issue.
