Default Headlight being weird, why?

I always have my headlights on the Auto setting and just the other day, I noticed my right headlight didn't come on (when inside a parking complex). I switched to the On position and it would come on.

Can anyone give me some clue into how to fix this or why it's doing it?

To clarify what's going on, my right headlight would come on, but for no more than two minutes at a time. I need to turn off my headlights completely and it would come back up and then disappear again.

HIDs don't die like Halogens where it just dies?

In any case, I purchased 6k Garax bulbs.
