Headlight Help?

Car is a evo9mr and passenger low beam headlights will turn on for only a min or two and after that it shuts down, but if i switch the switch off and on it will turn back on but still does the same thing. Theyre HID so what could be the problem? Bad Ballast? Everything else still works. Btw the color is now a slightly yellowish tint to it if you look carefully, so any suggestions will help!

Thanks

swap the ballasts and see if the issue remains on the passenger or switches to the driver side

Sounds like the balast is bad to me. Or a possible short like a bad ground
