HID issue resolved!
So I've noticed in a search that many people would question whether their headlight issue was a bulb or ballast problem. So I've decided to share my experience.
My 08 IS-F had a headlight bulb that would ignite and stay lit for about a minute or so and then shut off. I kept going back and forth about whether it was the bulb or if the ballast for whatever reason was failing to keep it lit after a minute. So I purchased new HID bulbs and pulled the old ones and noticed a white stain on the inside of my OEM bulb. I replaced both bulbs and everything works as it should again.
