It was the driver side fuse that was bad. I also replaced the headlight rubber boots. Everything is working now.

Thanks for the help.

... You mean the HID bulb? (Headlight refers to the entire assembly, which is impossible to swap passenger side and driver side, and that's why I was confused).

But anyways, hey I'm glad you found your issue! Congrats!

Yes I removed the entire headlight assembly from driver side and checked to see if it would turn on on the passenger side.
You can also just switch ballast.

I think it is either the Fuse, Bulb, Control Ballast or Striker.

That's what fuses are for. You must have blown it during part of your repair work.

My problem is that the light works intermittenly. Sometimes it will come on and then sometimes it won't. It usually comes on when I start the car but before the drive is over that bad boy is out.
