Check the wires that connect the ballast to the bulb.

Hi yes the wires inside the headlight unit are intact and well...... do you think I would have to code it to work ? Becuse my left passenger works fine I bought new balast and module and even replaced bulb and made sure the ones I bought worked on my passenger witch turned on and works I even switched sides as in connectors thinking it was that but still no go the drls work the rings light up but the main xenon ds1 looks like it wants to turn on then completely shuts off after a second

I would also check the connection, when you move it like that it looks like the connection touches.

Check connection between the wire harness connector on the car and the headlight. Make sure the pins are not bend.

Check resistance on the wires that connect bulb to ballast.
