Best way would be to pull the bumper and headlight assemblies; that way you can easily swap ballasts and verify the ingitors are working in case the bulb is not the culprit. If you are very skilled with your hands, you could probably get swap the bulb without pulling the bumper, but it would be a PITA. I believe there are several threads that have covered this including a walk-through of the bumper pull, search is your friend .

Thanks Quartz. The bulb is working but appears less brilliant to the drivers side, which is a replacement assembly that was likely installed four years ago. What may also be happening is this is the side that recieved Brutals drooping light fix. The bulb appears to be pointing more down, giving the appearance of less lumination. I'll mess around adjusting it before yanking things apart (new bulb cost $80). Ironically, the bumper and lights were removed last week for re-painting.... Otherwise, I'll check the threads.
