Headlight problem - won't stay on
Hi guys, last year I sent my IS350 headlights to AAC (Advanced Automotive Concepts) for them to black out the inside and install the Halos and also ordered their replacement 6k HID bulbs.
Now after some time, when I turn on the headlights, the right bulb flickers on for a second and then always turns right back off. The left headlight stays on just fine. Any ideas what might be causing this? The bulb is probably not busted because it does turn on every time for a second. I'm really not sure what to do and I can't take it to the dealership because the warranty is void as far as they are concerned and I don't want to get fleeced by them.
Any advice is very much appreciated, thanks.

If I could do it all over again, I'd get the housing blacked out only, that looks really good.
Thanks for your help guys. Now to figure out how to replace the bulb... hopefully it's in the manual.

Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced my manual since I moved.. can anyone point me in the right direction for how to change the HID bulbs?
PS - I haven't been around CL in quite a while, completely forgot how ridiculously helpful everyone is around here, thanks everyone

Good to hear all the confirmations about the bulb, i'll be swapping it out soon. Since I bought these 6000k HIDs from AAC, I think I may have to call them after all for a replacement because I don't want to buy a 2nd one from somewhere else and have it mismatch. They really are quite rude and terrible at customer service, not to mention the crappy products they sell. But hey, maybe they'll surprise this time

Update: Bulbs replaced with stock 4300K bulbs, it was definitely a bad bulb that I had. I used the DIY mentioned above to swap them out, it was a pain for someone with as little skill as me in this dept but I got it done nonetheless. Thank you all for your replies and help!
Now to go look for a new 5000K set of bulbs possibly, I hate how yellow the stock ones are
