Verified bulb is okay because it works when swapped with the driver's side. I've ordered a $35 ballast from eBay because I want it on hand when I get the darned thing out in a few days. Taking a gamble that it's the problem.
Is the ballast the same as the #5 control unit in the diagram above? When you take the headlight out you be able to check for voltage coming into the ballast.
