I think it's the ballast that is failing if you have "pink eye" though I wouldn't go and replace it unless someone else confirms that theory.

More than likely the bulb is on its way. Ballast should still be good

If passenger side is pink and driver side is not, then that means driver side is good, right?

Swap the driver side bulb with the passenger side bulb. Is the passenger side bulb still pink? If not, it's the bulb. Go buy a set of new bulbs. If it is pink, it's the ballast. Go buy a new ballast.

Pink Headlight? From my experience the bulb is ready to go. It will stop sooner than later. Buy at ebay. Phillips or Osram 4300K. Depending on the model and year, you will need D2S or D2R.

In my case I replaced both at the same time.

The ballast should still be good. A good way to check is to switch the bulbs around. Driver to Passenger side and vice versa.

Hope this helps.

IMO, this sounds like a good idea.
