My HID is acting weird

Today, I was at the driveway cleaning both of my car, and my sister was sitting on my CL-S listening to her new CD. So i asked her if she could turn the headlights on my CL-S cause i want to see those cool blue when they fire up. Sure enough when she turned it on my passenger side headlight just light like a regular halogen bulb, and on the other hand my driver side headlight light up just like Xenon will do(blue). I was like WTF, so i turn off the headlight and start the engine, and did the same thing. This time i let the HID bulb light for a while to make it hot, and then i turned it off. I wait for 15 min and turned it on again, and now it's ok they will light up blue for a sec and it will become whiter. Before it's like a regular halogen bulb when i light it up. Any of you guys had the same problem like mine?

I know i heard this problem before at the TL board, but i forgot which part he got fix. I went to the garage again to test it, and it's fine. I will check it again tomorrow if it act weird again i'll be dropping at the dealer after work.. My suspect is the ballast of the HID...
