03' G35 HID problem

Recently my driver side headlamp started to flicker until it goes off whenever I start my engine. Once I turn my lights off and turn them back on it temporarily fixes the problem, until i do another engine start. After this started happening I realized that my drivers side headlight is now a bluer tone than the passenger side. The headlights are factory. I've never changed them. Any ideas as to what could be happening?

Thanks

Same happened to me when my bulb was going bad. Eventually, it just died out completely.

Easiest thing to do is swap bulbs and see of the prob goes to the other side. If it does....get new bulbs

Definitely a ballast issue. Replace your ballast. Aftermarket ballasts are very cheap, look into it.
