mix and match parts to be sure it's the ballast (tho ya, sounds like it)
like, swap the blub to the good side, same with the ignitor

where to get a replacement tho?? not sure
that's why i bought mine local, so if anything ever goes on them i'm covered

If the bulbs were "blown up" as you say, they would not work at all.

Your problem would either be the ballast, ignitor or the relay if you are using a harness.
