OEM Projector Headlight issues

Hello all,

My car is currently acting up as the cold weather hits the east coast. The passenger side project headlight flickers and goes out. My FIRST guess is my OEM matsu****a ballast is going bad, however, the headlight goes back on after I turn the power on/off (like resetting my headlights). Also when my car is just chilling in the parking lot the headlights boot up fine and do NOT flicker and go out. The weird part is, the passenger side projector only goes out while I am driving the vehicle. I have read some threads of saying power issues, bad ground, alternator going...etc.. Because it is all OEM I thought it should not be giving me these problems. My driver side projector light is fine, just my passenger side acting up....

I think it is a bad ballast, BUT I also suspect it is the bulb possibly, I just wanted some confirmation before I go ahead and order a OEM replacements for my passenger projector headlight.


Please help!!

Thanks all!!

You could try swapping the bulbs to determine if it is bulb or ballast, but you may as well replace them while you're in there. Morimoto XB 35W bulbs in 5000K are a good alternative:
