    Passenger side headlight is no longer working. Had issues that self resolved about a week ago. I didn't do the install and cant seem to find a brand name? Anybody recognize these lights? All other lights within the housing still work except the headlight. Just a bulb replacement?

    Dunno what they are, as I'm not hip on all that glam stuff.

    However, you could

    1) test the light socket that's out with a DVM to be sure that it's hot when it should be

    2) put the DS bulb in the PS socket and see if it works. If yes, a bulb seems likely.

    Try swapping the ballast/igniters from the working side to the other. If that doesn't fix it then swap the bulb.
