    Possibly the wirings? Have the wirings going to the passenger side lamp checked thoroughly. Or yeah, maybe the grounding.

    are you using a wiring harness or just the stock headlight wiring? pls do note that the starting current of hid ballast can be as high a 15amps and can fry your stock wirings. I'm assuming the bulbs are the one being busted. try to isolate the problem by exchanging the ballast to the other side.

    I suggest you install a wiring harness to protect your stock wiring. although power consumption of hid is generally lower than halogen bulbs, the starting current is very high.
    your ballast on the passenger side might not be getting enough power. note that wire going to this side is longer than the driver's side.

    kung nawawala or namamatay paminsan minsan , ground ang prob niyan most likely.....

    pero kung napupundi palagi. easiest way . pag pinawarranty mo try mo palipat naman sa kabilang side yung ballast or bulb or both

    para ma isolate ang problem.
