Headlight Problem! HELP!??

Passenger side headlights is taking a **** need help!

Got a evo 9 mr and the passenger side light will come on for a minute or two after turning it on but after that it'll die. What could it be? Wires? Lightbulb? It just happened all of a sudden this early morning. Also its slightly a different color like a slightly yellowish compare to the driver side when turned on, and it will always turn on if i flip the switch after it dies.

EDIT: they're HID and everything else works just the low beam HID light.

Likely a ballast going out. You can try swapping parts off the other side

Fixed the problem and it was the bulb, i waited for a day or two until it stop flickering and completely died before i even try to bother swapping them around with the driver side. Replaced them both with Morimoto D2S 5500k Bulb for $50/1year warranty.
