Passenger low beam went out ... now what
I've got a 2003 ES300 with the HID kit. The low beam went out. I bought a replacement bulb for $99 at Autzone and carefully installed it, but it didn't fix the issue. Could it be the ballast? How can I tell if the ballast is shot? Could it be a fuse? All other lights (high beams, and all driver side lights work).
Not sure what else to do.
How easy is it to convert the HID lights to halogen?

Swap the ballast from the other side to verify if you have a bad one. Replacements on Ebay are not expensive.

I'll second what the previous poster said, but suggest you just swap whichever part is easier to get to - bulb or ballast. Switching either component will tell you which one is Really your problem, anyway.
Also, converting from HID to Halogen would require you to have a completely different headlight assembly/housing, as well as being a massive downgrade in light output. Generally people want to go from halogen up to an LED Kit or HID Kit, not the other way around.
