first switch left and right bulbs to make sure the bulb is the problem, your ballast/igniter/misc HID electronics may be the problem

if it's the bulb, then you need to replace both of them at the same time

there are quite a few AZ vendors who sell good bulbs, can't remember all the names off the top of my head but i think some are hidextra, excelerate performance, etc. i would suggest you get 4300k bulbs for the most usable light...

The amount of power they use is the same no matter which one you get. The 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, etc is just the color temperature, not the amount of electricity it uses. So yes, the stock ballast should be just fine.
