Default HID problems please help

I have a 2005 Acura TL NON Type-s and the driver side HID is a different color than the passenger side...... the drivers one burnt out once i replaced it with a knechts bulb it was a different color so i bought a factory honda bulb still a different color and intermitently wont turn on............so i know its not the bulb now so does anyone know if its the ballast or the ignitor or if it would be something else.....thanks for the help in advance.

I moved this to Lighting because most people posting in the marque forums aren't going to have much of a clue.

If it intermittently won't turn on, its probably the ground for the ballast. My ground came loose, and the lights would flicker on bumps, and sometimes would not turn on at all. Definitely check your ground to your Ballast. If it's not that, could just be a bulb connector issue.
