Headlight help!!!

I just recently started to expierence headlight issues. I have read up and have got missed opionionson whether or not is the ballast or ignitor. I just replaced the bulb on my drivers side headlight and it was working fine. This problem atarted prior to me changing my bulb and im not sure if i even needed to change my bulb. Anyway my problem is that when i turn my headlights on sometime only one headlight will go on. Then when i turn them off and back on the other one will go on n so forth. When i continue to do this sometimes neither of them go on and im stuck turning them off and on. One headlight seems to flicker every now and then so thats where i was getting the ballast from. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well guess it'll be trial and error for you, cheapest thing would be is to switch out the ignitors. You should email Matt at The Retrofit Source and see if he has any laying around for you to buy. It sounds like it's ballast or ignitor definitely.

I do have an extra ballast laying around if you want to buy it. I got some water in it earlier so it didn't work. I let it dry out for a week and when I tested it, it worked fine. $50 shipped and it's yours.
