buy a good set of ballasts instead of cheapest ones you can buy

if it does the same thing on both sides, it's 100% ballast issue

I don't think it's the ballast cause the driver side works fine and I took that ballast and put in the bad to see if it would work but it didn't but that ballast works fine on the driver side

If the working Ballast on one side doesn't work on the other then it's your wiring that's the problem.

this is saying the passenger light doesn't work on the drivers side

if so it's an issue with the ballast / light
