HID Issues, Bad Ballast?

HID Issues, Bad Ballast?
I have a set of Tech One HID's in my Integra.
It's pretty cold here, but my HID's have been through 3 winters now.
Anyways, when I turn it on, the passenger bulb ignites, then just fades out. It will ignite everytime I turn them on, only to fade out within seconds after.
Any ideas?

Oooh, that's very tempting, I have 6000k's right now.
I'll switch the bulbs tonight hopefully and see whether it's the ballast or the bulb and let you know .

Damn, everyone is being so helpful, thanks guys.
I only had a second under the hood. From what I could tell, the driver side would ignite and stay on. The passenger side, you could hear the igniter click, then it would just sort of fade off with the light.

I have the same set with 2 6000k bulbs and 1 5000k bulb that was on my Integra. Wanna buy the set in case a ballast blew?

Do people typically replace both bulbs when one goes out? Is there an issue with one being a different color, etc?
