Default one dead xenon, help

The passenger side xenon on my 99 2.5TDI Avant quit working yesterday. Trying to switch it on produced only a few bright flashes before it shut down again, this happened every time I tried lighting them.

Driver side xenon works just fine.

Information screen shows a crossed out bulb pictogram.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Default bad bulb...buy two matched bulbs on ebay for $80+...

you should always replace in pairs...so the "burn in" rate remains the same. In other words..one will be blue..one will be white.
