Yeah, what kind of brand is it? If its one of those ebay generic ones, I wouldn't be surprised.

Stick with Xenon or some other popular name brand.. they have a 1-2 year warranty in case the bulbs burn out. I currently have Xenon HIDs for my car and they're still running perfect for 3 years and going.

Also if you say its one of the lights that aren't working, there most likely something wrong with the bulb and not the ballast.

Id check the wiring. Take apart and reconnect everything and you can take the ballast from the bad side and put it on the good side to confirm it works. Then do the same with the bulb to narrow down the issue. If you have a volt meter check the voltages on the bad side.
