Headlight out, but it's not the bulb. What's next . . . ?
Passenger side low beam is out. I switched the bulbs and it is still out. Is there a relay or ballast that I should check?

Yes...
to get to the ignitor in the headlight you have to pull the ENTIRE headlight apart.. almost every part out of the housing. I didn't want to do this to my headlight though.
I left the old ignitor in the headlight and unplugged it. I then plugged the new ignitor in and just kind of stuck it in the headlight housing and closed the back lid.
Somewhat ghetto but it works.
