Just confused with these HID's

ok i have an 03 max and my passengers side headlight went out, i checked the fuse, and it was ok, i changed the bulb and it still didnt work. So i switched the ballast from the pass side to the drivers side and it didn work so i fugured just the ballast is bad. But when i put the good drivers side ballast on the pass side, it still didnt work So does this mean i have a bad relay or somehing and a bad ballast??? Also i dont have the original headlights i have the factory DEPOT replacement headlights like on Ebay, does anyone know where i can get a replacement from, or should i just cop a $80 ballast from ebay and splice it HELP

Check to see if there is power at the wires before the ballast, check all under hood fuses and relays

Look guy you got 4 fuses for your headlights 1 for each HID and 1 for each Hi-beam. You also have 2 headlight relays 1 for each HID! Swap them and see if your problem transfers to the drivers side! Do you have a test light or volt-ohm-meter? if so it's time to pull it out! If swapping the relays doesn't work, test those fuses.......
