Default How to test HID(xenon) ignitor and ballast unit?

We had huge rain last week and my pass side xenon stopped working. Bulb is good, I switched sides and it worked fine. Fuse is in not fried either.

If water got in there it would evaporate by now.

So how do I test ignitor unit? I have VAG and good multimeter.

If ignitor is bad how much for new or used one?

Thanks!

Can you buy a new igniter, or do you have to buy the whole ballast?
