Sounds like the bulb is burning out. If it's the high intensity discharge bulb, that's a good thing for oncoming drivers. The blinding effect is a safety issue for others. To tell for sure, switch the bulbs from side-to-side. If the same bulb has the problem, replace the bulb. If the problem is on the same side of the car, replace the ballast assembly.
