So get this,
I'm driving home from showing the car to my friends when suddenly the right side xenon headlight goes out. It was working all night until it just went out? Is it the bulb? These are litronic headlamps. The leift side is fine. Also, nothing on my dash has shown that my light went out? Weird? I really don't want to take it back to the dealership if it's just he bulb. I can just replace it myself. What do you guys think?

I haven't had to replace one but if its just the bulb you should be able to DIY. These cars are usually pretty straightforward with this kind of stuff. Usually basic hand tools will get you through it.

I've only found DIY on the regular headlights...not the litronic. Is it the same process?...if so, it's looks pretty easy. I'm just wondering if it's the bulb or the ballast. Shouldn't there be a dash light telling me my bulb is out?

I just swapped the bulbs and I have the same problem...so I know it's not the bulb. Does anyone know a website or place where I can purchase a ballast replacement or even worst, a litronic headlight assembly cheap(passenger side)? I've seen a few online but I don't know if their assembly includes the washer nozzle jets like mine.

Cheapest you will find replacement litronic assembly used is fleabay... expect to pay 400+ for a single unit. Just a question, but are any other electrical failures happening as well? How does the ignition switch feel with the key in? Your problem "could" be an ignition switch failure if these electrical gremlins continue elsewhere.
Nice car btw!
