Default I have a headlight problem.

My HID light bulb appears to have stopped working. When I turn on the parking lights all of the halo's come on. But at full pull my passenger side halos go out and only the driver's side lights stay on. I can hear that the driver's side ballast is making noise when it is on. But the passenger side makes no noise. Anyone have any ideas or do I just need to replace the bulb? ballast? whole new set of HID's??? Thanks

Well I checked the fuses. Nothing is wrong there. And sometimes at full pull the passenger halo's go out and sometimes the stay on. Weird??? Well I am going to try to tap on the ballast and check all the wiring. Any one have any ideas??? ANYONE at all????

A VERY random thought... Is your alternator generating enough power to power up all of the lights?
