What did you replace? Both the ballast and HID bulb?

I just replaced the bulb itself, but I went to 6k. I don't think that was the problem though because i have read people here doing the same thing.

Sounds like it's your ballast starting to give out. The bulb itself wouldn't cause issues.

To be sure, you can try swapping your bulbs around and see if the problem persists. If it does, it's likely the ballast.

I had the same issues with passenger side headlights. According to parts/description; the dealership replaced the following:

1. Control Unit - 3319-S2A-J01
2. Igniter, HID - 33129-S2A-J01

Now, my left side is doing the same issues. The bulb works; however, it goes out and flicks sometimes. If I need to get it on ebay - could you please help me out on what exactly do I need, for cheap?

Thank you kindly.
