Default HEADLIGHT PROBLEM

I was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me. I have an 03Performance, and sometimes when I turn on my headlights only the driver side turns on and the passanger side doesn't. Then if I wait a few minutes later and try it again they both turn on. Is there anyway I can fix this? Thanks!

is it HID?
Try seeing if there is water in the ballast, the fat black thing under the headlight.

(dont open it up, just unplug it and unscrew 3 screws to detach from headlight, then what i do is shake it and hear for any water, then leave it out in the sun for a bit)

your bulb might be going bad.

the ballast is usually pretty solid.

Yes, it has the stock hid kit on it. I'll try that. Thanks!
