Just want to chime in as this can be of use to anyone...

im having the same problem and it is NOT THE BULB. I waited at the dealership for an hour for them to replace bulb and when they did it was a no go. I told them it was the ballast but they said they wanted to start with the bulb just incase. But if the headlight flickers and then goes off its the ballast for sure

BULBS and BALLASTS are covered under the 3yr/36k

until you can get a new ballast put in try flicking your lights on and off very quickly 10 times and the headlight should stay on. mine works every time! hope this helps everyone. also if one bulb goes out change both bulbs because you will have different colors. right now my right one looks like 6K and the left one looks like 4.5k... however this could be because of the bad ballast ill let you guys know
