Head light Malfunction
My left headlight is starting to malfunction. I notice the color is not as bright and as white as the right side, and sometime it just doesn't turn on the 1st try. I need to turn it off and back on and usual I can get it to work and the bulb is about a year old.
Does anybody think I need to replace the light or is their another issue I'm running into here.
I believe someone mentions a ballast problem but does that mean the bulb is still good and only the ballast needs to be replaced?
TIA

try switching bulbs. move drivers side over to passenger and vice versa. see if the problem moved to the other side. if so, it's a bulb issue. if not, its a ballast (or other) issue.
