quick question on hids

today i was installing my new hid fog lights. i took out the headlights to gain access. when i was all done i tested everything to make sure it was all working. well everything works except for the drivers side headlight Hid. it was working fine before i took them out, i checked all the wiring and it seemed fine. i am thinking it is the ballast that went out on it. i can hear the passenger side ballast humming but there is no sound at all coming from the drivers side.

thoughts?

Prolly the ballast or bad conncetion, Ive had a bad connector before. Only thing I can say is take one of your other ballast and hook it up to the drivers side and see what happens.
