The car can have Bi-Xenons or halogens lamps, the bulb would be different. The user manual shows which bulb type to use.
Changing the halogen bulb would be quite easy. On the contrary changing Xenon HID's involves some knowhow and should be done by a dealer, they also need to be replaced in pairs.
I would suspect the bulb is at fault or the connector to the bulb, but you don't say the type of headlights you have so that handicaps my diagnosis. As for aftermarket so called high intensity bulbs I would stay away from them.
