Weird issue with one headlight going out when cold.

Question:

I have the Xenon package with aftermarket HIDs. Been installed, say - 2 years?

I noticed recently, when it's very cold outside my driver side will not turn on.

I have to turn off the lights, turn them on a few times for it to kick in.

I checked all wiring - nothing loose or damaged.

Odd thing, there are no light codes when it is off. Is the HID failing? What could I look into?

Replace the bulbs. The process isn't easy enough to just swap them to eliminate if it is. I'd just replace them anyways. Shop for quality stuff at theretrofitsource.com

Update.

I simply replaced the bulb and everything is fine. I was nervous it would be a ballast or control module since there were NO warning lights on the dash.

Retrofitsource was a great suggestion and I had no idea their shop is 10 miles away from me. Thank you for the suggestions.
