Default Bulb, Ballast, or other?

while i was checking to see if my gasket was to blame for my misfires (whole other story) i was spraying intake cleaner on/ around the gasket for leaks in the seal.

Later that day when i turned my lights on i got the idiot light, andmy headlight on that side that i was working earlier that day didnt turn on.

When i turn the lights on the passenger ballast fires and the light turns on.
At the same time the drivers side humms and pauses and then humms again and the ballast never fires and my hid doesnt turn on.


is my ballast junk?
is my bulb junk?
or is it moisture?
