Headlght problem

My passenger low beam headlight had stared to go pink, so I decide to change the bulb, however after I changed it, the light stop working altogether. I change the ballast 2 times, in 2 years, I hoping it didn't go bad again , any ideas on if it the ballast again, and what could cause it to keep going bad. I have a 03 tl. Thank you for your help.

moisture inside the lens of the housing will kill ballast
thats why many of us go aftermarket- waterproof units that dont mount directly under a drain for the housing!!

www.hidextra.com is one source $59 gets 2 new ballast, 2 ignitors and bulbs
we dont need the extra things they sell,,just the basic kit

see vendor list for other suppliers

do you get moisture inside either headlight lens?
pink is age death
These bulbs need to be replaced in pairs,,the color and brightness will be way different, and the other side will die soon
