Maybe it's not the ballast? Did you replace the bulb?

Have you been replacing the bulb with another cheap bulb? If so, maybe its time to invest in a phillips, garax, etc bulb?

How often are you swapping ballasts and bulbs?

Swap the bulb from passenger to the driver side and see if it does the same thing. if it does, then you may have a problem on that headlight. I had the same problem before. i had to take it to my dealership have them put a new ballast and bulb and it still didn't work. i ended up buying the entire headlight assembly on the driver side. I had moisture going in it so that probably had something to do with it. Use process of elimination.
