HID Low Beam problem (driver side only).

Hey guys, anyone have an idea why only one low beam HID headlight would operate intermittendly? Both lights turn on fine. However; within a minute or so, the driver side turns pink in color, then goes out shortly thereafter. I swapped the bulb, that is not the problem. Are these lights fused / relayed seperately? If so, where are they located? I don't see anything labeled in the fuse /relay box. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There is a fuse for each side of the lowbeams. A 15A mini fuse for each side. If it does go pink, that sounds like a dying bulb.

Lights are always on separate fuses. If one fuse blows, at least you'll still have light from the other headlight to see where you're going as you pull over or head to an auto part store.

The pink lighting usually mean that the bulb is nearing the end of its life. If swapping the bulbs to the other side shows that the problem is still on the driver's side, then maybe the ballast isn't providing the necessary power and needs to be replaced.
