Problem with 04 E55 right bi-xenon headlight

i am having issues with my right headlight, when i turn them on the left turns on no problem, however the right on does not and then i see the light blinks for a brief second the it turns off, and just keeps happening every 4-5 seconds. I also hear light trying to trun on but nothing. Can anyone help me figure put what could be wrong? Thank you.

It could be the ballast/ignitor or the bulb. Easiest way to narrow it down is to swap bulbs side to side and see if the problem follows the bulb. If you're in the Chicago area I'd be happy to give you a hand.

Met up with jcjimenez85 this morning. He drove out to my house so we could take a look at his lighting issue. Turned out that the pass. side bulb was fried, and we replaced it with a good Osram bulb I had taken out of my car when I switched to 6,000 K's. Problem solved .

It was a pleasure meeting him and his wife, and it was really cool having 2 IDENTICAL cars in the driveway. 2004 silver E55's with the same mileage, blue interior, same options, etc...
