Default Headlight problem

My right front headlight works sometimes and other times it doesn't. Sometimes when I get out of my car, I notice the right headlight is out before the lights go off automatically. Other times, both lights are on when I get out of the car. Any idea what could be causing this?

Can I change the bulb myself? If so, how do you do it?

Thanks

If you have never changed HID bulbs before, you may want to drive to a dealership and catch a tech on their break or just walking around..offer to buy him lunch, give him the bulbs and have him switch them out in just a few minutes..give him a tip..yes, this can happen.

If you want to try yourself, you can jack up one corner, jack stand it, take the front wheel off for more room, unclip the fender liner and you can get to the back of the headlight housing.
