Default LS460 Ballast Replacement?

Has anyone replaced their headlight ballast? My left headlight is not working even after replacing the bulb and I am guessing this is the problem. Can someone provide instructions or tell me how much it was to get it replaced.

I've done it on a 2007 ES 350. I don't know whether a similar process would be appropriate for an LS 460. It was laborious, and I can understand why a dealer or mechanic could charge a fair bit to do it (at least for a 2007 ES 350 -- I think I was quoted about $1k total a few years ago when I had the issue), even though the price of the ballast could be pretty low.

Here is a link that details the process with images, and my post within that thread which details my steps (post #23). Also, you will see that the op used a process that involved soldering. However, someone found a way to do it without soldering (posts #7 and #11), and I was able to complete the process without any soldering):

In addition, I believe that I purchased the OEM ballast on Amazon.

Good luck!!
