Default Headlight Problem HID

I have what I call a "lazy" passenger side headlight the HID $$$ one. For some reason it doesn't come on right away everytime. It's not loose I checked for that. I tried to switch it with the other side to check it on that side then switched it back. Then my drivers side light became "lazy" although that bulb had never had a problem before. Also sometimes it will come on right away. Can anyone help? Thanks. This is driving me crazy. I have a 2002 so could it be that the bulb is aging?

Yeah change your bulbs first because that's gonna be the cheap fix,if it's still happening then it's your balla$t....i don't think your gonna need a ballast since you swapped sides and it happened on the other side as well
