Default Headlight hid is not working

Hey guys,
I just bought a Lexus is250 2007.
I have an issue with my head lamps.
My driver side headlamp is not working. When i opened it,i realize there is no lamp inside and the socket was out side of the box (i mean the box that we put the lamp in and we close the door).
Now i replaced the lamp and i am pretty sure lamp is fine. But it will not turn on.
I tried the lamp on the passebger side headlamp and worked fine.
Can anyone help me?

No, Only HID is not working on driver side.
my high beam and other lights all works fine.
I bought 2 new bulb. new bulbs fixed the passenger side but the driver side is still dead. i changed bulbs from passenger to drive.
it is obvious now bulbs are OK, the problem is something else.

Socket was outside of the box... was the box closed against the wires with socket on the outside? May just but a shorted wire if it was clamped down on or water damage to the socket shortly the ballast? All guesses though
