Drivers side xenon

Hi all

HELP!!!!!

Right last night I turned on my lights on the car, the side lights work fine but one of the main lights have stopped working. I opened it up today to check if its a loose connection but seems fine, swapped the xenon bulb over from the other headlight to see if it works. Guess what? It didn't .
It's the driver side headlight that doesn't work. I have connected LEDs and halo rings to the side lights was wondering if it had anything to do with that I.e too much power may have caused something to blow up?
Anything I can check before taking it dealers and getting robbed? Lol

Probably just ignitor pack or ballast

Common problem
Easy fix

Try swapping the Xenon Striker/Ballast unit from one head lamp to the other, if the fault follows the Ballast, Bingo....if the fault doesn't follow the ballast, wiring/connection problem!
