Default HID bulb occasionally flickering

Just noticed my left HID bulb occasionally flickers every 30mins or so, sometimes when i turn them on the left headlight is delayed to full brightness until it finishes flickering and tghen it's full brightness. Almost looks like the headlight housing is shaking, not like when the HID's start-up they do that normal flickering no it's different.

It is converison kit, not a retro-fit kit. Anybody know what's going on?
