Another issues... this time HID

So I have been having a problem with my driver side HID bulb. Every couple months the HID will just not turn on, for about a day and a half, and then it is back on. The bulb is fine because we listened to the balast, and it doesn't seem like it is clicking on. Could this be an issue with the lighting switch? Has anyone had a problem like this before? Thanks.

-SB

swap the bulbs or ballasts, whichever is easy for you and see which part is the bad. I 90% blieve that your bulb is dying out, but who knows.
