Default Anyone burn out a headlight yet?
I did... tonight, near dusk, when driving under a bridge, the lights turn on. About half a second later, the burnt-out bulb indicator comes on. I think about it... hmmmm... strange... wonder which light, expecting the tail light, etc. Nope. Headlight.

Car has about 12k, less than a year old...

Default it's probably either a flawed bulb or bad ballast
theroetically, HID bulbs are supposed to last forever, they just eventually go dim.

Default I had a turn signal go out. Ask them to replace both bulbs though.
If it's the headlights, your going to get one bulb shining brighter than the other. I had this issue with my B5.
