Low Beam Malfunction

hey friends!

just replaced my right cornering light with an H3 bulb and everything seems to be good until i was driving tonight and noticed that my right low beam started to flicker!

then, instead of the normal light temperature, it started to look super pink/light purple ish.

maybe 5 minutes later of driving, the light completely died and then to no surprise, my iDrive told me that my right low beam is malfunctioning.

i turned off my car to go get some groceries and when restarting my car, the light worked again! but it went through the exact same cycle as noted above.

i guess this means that my low beam bulb is on its way out. i couldn't seem to find any DIY's to replace the low beam bulb.

can someone help advise me on what i need to do to fix this or does this have to be done by my dealer?

update on this:

brought my car into the dealer and they replaced my low beam (xenon bulb with ignitor???).

cost was around CAD$350-400. i was expecting the bulb to be like $20, LOL!
