Xenon light not working

It happened twice in the past two weeks, one of my Xenon light was not working when I start off my car. The instrument cluster will display something like: "1 malfunction.... Left Low beam...." First time.... after I parked my car and came back 10 minutes later, everything was back to normal. Second time....after I saw the malfunction message, I just pulled over, turned off the engine and started it up again, then everything was back to normal. My rough guess is the gas cannot be fully "discharged" to the bulb. Any thoughts?? Thanks!!

Wo, I had the exact same problem Harris. But after i shut it off and on again the two bulbs were not the same colour, left one was like orangey, unblue like, and they were also not lighting at the same height level, but after i turned it off again, everything was ok.

I guess I'll address this issue to the dealer when I take my car for service later. The car's computer should have records showing all the malfunction messages.
