Help with headlight problem

Hey guys,
The other day my D1S bulb went out so i replaced it with the Philips OEM one and it still doesn't work. My angel eyes have power and so does my corner indicator. Any idea what could be the problem? I've checked fuses and connection and all seem well. E82 135i
Thanks

It could be the ballast. I had a headlight go out on my E90 and I ruled out the D1S bulb. I replaced the ballast with an aftermarket one from ebay for around $55 and it worked again.

Which ballast did you use? I've got the OEM European headlights, i think the insides are all the same though.

It was from ebay user "genuinexenon", similar to this:
