If its consistently the same side that's not coming on its most likely its the bulb going bad. The ballast send out a high frequency start to ignite the arc in the bulbs. The bulbs start to wear out and sometimes require you to restart them. Try swapping the bulb to the other side and see if it does the same thing. Your stereo might be picking up the high frequency start, this could be do to the model of stereo that does not have a good power filter and or the brand/model of HID ballasts and the technology of start mode, some ballasts are better than others.
