If one side isnt working it may be the ballast or the ignitor which is failing

See: http://www.r32oc.com/topic/45002-oem-xenon-ballast-golfboratt-etc/
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Swap the bulbs around to see if the problem moves

If it does then its the bulb. If not then its the ignitor or ballast as Steve suggested

Main beam is not DS2 on genuine VW xenons, just dipped is.
Main beam is H1.
Get good bulbs (I use Osram nightbreaker plus) and they match the xenons well. I wouldnt bother making them HID, personally.
