Right headlight problems! help!

So the right headlight bulb just went out in my car, I got it replaced and it worked fine, then later that night when I turned my lights on, the right one popped on a little slower then the left. So I shut the lights off and turned them back on and it wouldn't come on, then I tried turning them on and off a couple more times, then it turned on, then if I shut it off again and turned it back on it wouldn't turn on. What's the problem?! Help!

welcome to the forum

It sounds like you have the standard ballast wearout/shorted problem that many experience
Did you notice any moisture inside the headlight lens? thats death to the ballast

you did get the correct HID bulb- not some `normal` zenon or halogen bulb?

the easy fix many are doing is a full HID kit replacement with aftermarket parts- waterproof no less~ get rid of the stock stuff and enjoy

ck out www.hidextra.com as one source that ziners use, unreal low prices, very little modding needed to make it all work,,also buy 1 relay kit $15, for better wiring to lights

out the door for under 100 bucks,, and some change back to you
