Xenon went purple / expensive to fix and how?

Xenon went purple, now strobbing and goes off. See on pic.

EDIT:
Is this the one I should shoot for as replacement? > OEM 4300K Philips Xenon Light Headlight HID D1S?

Or we're talking potential new headlight unit? Excuse my ignorance but never had a car with xenons before that went bad!

Replace both. You'll need a D1s. Install is fairly simple. It's not a halogen bulb so it won't be as cheap as just an H8 or H7 bulb change. It's not a big bill to pay though. Just a simple bulb change.
