Default Xenon bulb replaced, still doesn't work

My driver's side low beam headlight has been working intermittently for the past year. It started to fail only occasionally and now 9 times out of 10 it isn't working. I replaced the bulb and it still isn't working. From what I can tell there are two other parts, the ballast and the control module. Is there a way to test them? If not, which of them is more likely to fail? How about a ground issue? Does anyone know where the ground is located for the driver's headlight? Thanks!
