Default 07 headlight doesnt work...

My passenger side headlight doesnt work. I bought new bulbs put one in and it didnt work, took the working light from the driver side put it in the passenger side and it didnt work either. Anyone know what it might be? My car ran out of warranty a few months ago, this happened a month after it ran out, and it would go back on then die again, but now it wont go on at all.

Ballast if it isn't the bulbs. I bought 2 new oem ballasts for 150 locally.

Installation was a pain in the ***. You have to take off the bumper and take each headlight off, few hours labor.

Search this topic and you'll find ton of posts regarding this.
