I think it might be the ballast but is there any way to check it out, before I buy a replacement? Thanks.

The topic name is self explanatory, Passengers side HID light is dead, replaced the bulb (D2S) with a new one, still dead, checked the old bulb in the drivers side light fixture, works fine, so the problem is not with the bulb. Checked the connections, look clean and good. What else could it be. Thank you.

P.S. Dont want to go to my mechanic if it is something I can fix on my own.

My wife's Rx330 has about 150k miles and recently started failing in various places. First the starter gave up and stopped engaging. Replaced it, but after a little while a 2.5 year old battery also failed. Replaced it as well but decided to check up an alternator. It also failed the test, was generating about 13.3v output. So I'm going to take it out today and replaced it as well. The question I have is the following, what could have caused such a massive failure? I understand that bad alternator could cause the battery to go bad and vice verse but why the starter then? Could there be some underlying other problem? Also after I replaced the battery, the windows in the back and front passenger side stopped opening from the drivers console, but are opening from each door controls. Thank you
