Question H.I.D troubles really confused

ok so i have searched and read through how bixenons work but i am still a little confused. especially with my car. when i got the car it had hids already. everything was working ok, except for my fogs, they have never worked. anyway one of my headlights went out, and now the other works at times and doesnt at others. i took everything apart and i found that both my headlights are wired through the right side with some weird box between them. i am totally lost on how to get them working correctly. i am wondering how to fix them and how to wire them correctly, or if i should just go and buy a whole new kit, and if there are any plug and play bixenon kits for the ls. i know i atleast need replacement bulbs. i would like to clean up this wiring mess in the process if possible. so what i am wondering is do i need that black box and if not how do i rewire each headlight to its individual side.


ok so the black box is connected to the headlight output plug? and goes the the ballast and then has wires traveling all the way to the other side to connect the other headlight.

Your thread really belongs in the "Lighting" section (you'll get more help there), but for the time being, here's a typical HID circuit diagram:
