Default Question about factory HIDs

Hey everyone.

I'm having a problem with my driver's side headlight. When you turn the headlights on, they both warm up okay, then the driver's side fades down to a dull purple color.

I am not familiar with HID headlight systems, but is this a problem with the bulb, or the ballast? There's no flickering at all. I'm thinking it's the bulb, but I wanted to make sure before I go and buy one.

Thanks!

PS - Here's what the headlights look like at normal operation.

Why don't you switch the bulb over from the other side and see? I'd say bulb but it's always good to make sure first.
