Angry Right Front Head Lights On and Off

Hey guys, I have a problem with my front right head lights. The left headlight turns on but the right side won't turn on. First I thought it was just fused so I replaced both of the bulbs and than about 2 months later the right side does not work again. The right side headlight came on for couple of minutes and than it shut of again. So this time I am sure the bulbs are not fused. Do you think its loose connection somewhere? I hate the way the head lights are designed because I have to open my damn bottom guard or firewall w.e you want to call it just to reach the head light and I don't want to go through the whole trouble Without knowing whats wrong with it. I really need head lights now because its Winter in canada.

If you guys know easier way of accessing the head light please tell me. I searched up the whole google and all say either take bumper off or the side guards.

Thanks alot

G35Driver ROCKS !!

hey guys thanks for the quick response. So you think its the ballast? Is there any other signs that the ballast is out? Also I hear a buzzing sound from the head light that does not work like a high tone Zzzzzzz but not too loud. And if i change the ballast should i change it for both the lights or just one?

Thanks

Have you painted the insides of your headlights? could be a bad seal when you put them
back together, happened to mine, the first place any water will collect is the flat area where the ballast sits, and the plug is open and the so is the top cover, so it fills with water and shorts.
