I had a problem like that where every time I took an exit ramp (to the right) off the highway or a hard right turn my drivers side bulb would go off. After turning the headlights off and then back on it was back to normal, but it kept on happening more and more often so I replaced the bulb and never had any more issues.
I am just wondering are you sure that 2nd bulb you tried was good..you had no light..did you try it in the other side? Did you put the oroginal back in after that? was there light on that one? If no you probably need a new ballast, I assume you checked the fuses, relays.
Hope that helps.
