Default HID problem need help!

So today i found out that one of my headlights doesnt turn on. My left headlight doesnt turn on while the right one does. I have the mobilehid kit. I checked if the plugs were connected and they were.

What is the problem? Is it a bad bulb or a bad ballast.

Thanks.

Check to see if the side that doesnt' work makes a high pitched sound. I recently bought a used HID kit and one of the ballast wernt working and I noticed that it wasnt making the high pitch sound that most HID's make.

If it does make the high pitched sound, its the ballast thats broken.

swap the bulbs. if that bulb lights up on the other side, then it's the ballast, if it doesn't, then it's the bulb.
