sounds like a bulb.. halogen bulbs come out in 1 min.. but the hid is challenging... when the connector goes in the bulb assembly.. it pushes a plastic piece like a trigger and this kinda locks the bulbs in.. it is way over engineered.. sometimes i can do it no problem.. but other times i wanna kill my self.. will have to remove air filter ass. on drivers side.. if on passenger.. may have to take off bumper.. just pay attention to the orientation.. when you remove the bulb holder.. which way is pointing up.. then when you pop the bulb off the orientation of the bulb to the ring clip and the holder..

Well, I got the bulbs changed and I am having the same problem. The same bulb came on for a few seconds and then flickered a couple of times and then went out. Now it doesn't come on at all. It was not very bright even when it did come on. Also tried switching the connectors and it still wouldn't come on. What would be my next check? Is the module the thin metal peice just to th outside of the light assembly? Any other possibilities? I'm not sure if you have tried this or not but unhooking the fuse box on the passenger side behind the headlight and lifting it out of the way gives you much more access to that bulb. A couple of pics of the module and other possible causes would be a great help! Thanks.
P.S. I'm not really liking the blue light bulbs.

thats good news..just need to replace the ballast now. You'll get the old light color back afterward :) Sorry you had to spend $50 to test it out, but it beats a diagnostic fee at the dealer, eh? 8000's are too blue for my taste too.
I don't know where your ballast is located, but one of the techs or s-type owners will let you know.
