335i Dying Headlight

So my passenger headlight has been dead for a while and I finally got around to changing the ballast since I had already tested and found it wasn't the bulb. After changing ballasts, the headlight worked fine except for some flickering in the first 5 seconds. This morning when I turned the car on, I got the headlight warning saying that it wasn't working and the passenger side is dead again. I did swap ballasts to test them and put the new ballast in the driver side so could this be just an unlucky coincidence or is something frying my passenger side ballasts?

"put the new ballast in the driver side" - Did the driver side light work correctly when you swapped it? What brand did you purchase? Some of the HID headlight brands are garbage.
