i would try flipping the ballast and see if the ballast is blown??

something like this kinda happen to me too, so i flipped the ballast and come to find out the ballast was blown. replaced the ballast and every was fine!

did you do a xenon replacement or did your car come with them?

its prob just the bulb is out. take it to the dealer if your car is still under warranty. they should replace it no question ask.

swapping ballasts to the other side will troubleshoot a defective ballast..bulb is self explanatory. ive seen anything from a defective headlight(internal wiring short) to bad modules..bulbs..ballasts...
