Pass. 06 lights turning off. HELP!! (pic)

Ok i have my headlights on and i have 6000k 06 headlight.. the passenger side turns off after like 3-5 minutes. it kinda flashes and flickers and turns off, so i turn my headlight of and on and it is back on. Everything works again, wait 3-5 min shuts off. Same thing over and over again. The bulb is not blown cuz it still works, i park and bang on it and shake the headlight a little still wont' come on, but turn it off and on and it's back to normal.

what are these white spots? signs of this bulb about to blow?

I mean the quality of your bulbs is just laughable, how long did they last you,less than a year?
