Hi,
After I turn on the headlight switch, driver side headlight on immediately, but passenger side will turn on around 10 minutes later. I heard that it might be the Hid bulb worn out, not sure whether I should buy a new HID bulb and try to replace it? The bulb is over $200 which is expensive.

Thanks for any suggestion.

 

Get aftermarket ones and check
D2R Morimoto XB HID Bulbs - Xenon Headlight Bulbs - The Retrofit Source
My bet is it's not even the bulb and more likely the ignitor/ballast.

IN which case, also get aftermarket: D2S: Morimoto Elite HID System - HID Systems from The Retrofit Source Inc

 

OP

You can buy a hid bulb at any auto parts store $50- $100.

 

Test out the working bulb in the non working headlight. If it does the same thing, then it is probably the ballast or even a relay somewhere down the line. You can always buy morimoto hid bulbs from the retrofitsource for 50$ if it is the bulb

 

I think you might be right. I swapped driver and passenger side headlight today, same problem.

I tried to keep the engine running for 10-15 minutes with both headlights off, then turn the headlight switch on, both headlights on immediately.

Looks like some part needs warn-up.

Not sure replace what portion first.

Thanks for any idea.

 

It could also just be a HL relay. Try swapping those too.

 

I am selling the following if you are interested. Originally purchased for my 2002 TL but never installed.

See my Black Market thread https://acurazine.com/forums/car-par...-tl-2g-938425/

 

Should be the igniter, I'd check in TRS's close out section for replacement ballest or opt out for a complete kit

 

junk the stock parts and get an aftermarket kit from moritmoto - those are high end $
or HIDeXtra | HID, LED, Xenon Vehicle Headlight Kits & Bulbs where 60 bucks gets 2 of everything!!! ballast- ignitors and bulbs. Many of us on that system

35 watt ballast and 5000K color bulbs will fix you up right
the OE system is over a decade in use and technology has advanced greatly!
