I'll be the oddball and ask... how many miles on your MY00 and do you do a lot of night driving?

Did you phsically take off the whole headlight assembly or 'recondition' them while still attached to the car?

thats my next question. Swap bulbs and see if it follows the bulb. if not then its your ballast

106k is a lot of miles if you drive w/ lights on. Also IIRC MY00-MY01's had a problem w/ ballasts going out.
