Default Driver's lowbeam doesn't work (HIDs)

Yesterday I was wiring up my fogs and installing new bulbs in them. After I was finish with them, I turned on my lowbeams and my fogs, but my driver's side low beam was out. I checked the wiring on the HIDs on the driver's side and everything looks good. I noticed that there wasn't a little buzzing sound from the driver's ballast, but the passenger's ballast did have a little buzz. Is the driver's ballast no good now?

Thanks.

yes, I checked my driver's lowbeam fuse. Oh, forgot the mention, my driver's high beam works fine (halogen highs).

use logics...
1.) switch bulbs around keep ballasts mounted.
2.) switch ballasts but keep bulbs mounted.
3.) if none of the above helps your logics, then buy a different hid kit (i'm assuming you're using PNP)

LOGics my friend...logics :0

Yeah, I figured out its neither the bulbs, hid wiring, or ballast. I'm tracing the headlight harness now.
