Your car has two options for headlights. Standard halogen for high and low beam, or HID for low beam and halogen for high beam. I’m going to assume you have the HID option. The bulb itself has no filament and lasts a long time. They do go bad though. There is also a ballast that is needed to ignite HID bulbs. I don’t know the exact problem you’re having, but the bulb or ballast will usually resolve it. There is always the possibility that you have a wiring issue, or a bad fuse, switch, or relay. A qualified mechanic from YourMechanic can isolate, replace, or repair the parts you need to resolve the issue you are having. Thanks!
