You can test your headlights at an Acura dealership, if you're close to one. If your headlight doesn't light up in the Acura tester, it's probably your ballast.

If it's your ballast, it's going to cost you. They're $420 each from the dealership. Check out my other post on this issue for directions on how to change the ballast.
