I was pulled over for a front driver side head light out and was told to get it ficked. I changed the lights and nothing happened so then I decided to change the ballast. Both lights come on now but after 5 minutes the driver side randomly turns back off. Please someone give me suggestions, tip, HELP!!!

Have tried swapping igniter?

Yes I did this and it still shuts off after 5 minutes

Is it only the right one that dies? If so, try doing some swaps to try and narrow down the issue.
1: Confirm that ONLY the right side one dies after 5 minutes.
2: Swap the left ballast with the right ballast, and test again. See if the right light dies again, but the left one stays fine - that'll mean that the issue is NOT the ballast. If the right light still dies, go ahead and swap the ballast back - we know it's not the issue now.
3: Swap the left igniter with the right igniter, and test again as in the last step. If the left light now goes out and the right one is fine, the issue is with your igniter. Otherwise, if the right light still goes out and the left is unchanged, the issue is not the igniter.
4: Swap the left bulb with the right bulb. Wear clean gloves while doing this, as you do not want any skin oil to touch the bulbs. See if the left light now goes out, or the right one, and determine if the issue is with the bulb.
5: If after doing all the above, only the right light is ever going out, the issue might be in the wiring before the ballast/igniter/bulb section. You can trace those wires looking for breaks in the wire.

Ahh, you should start with swapping the HL relays from side to side first... 5 minutes.
