Are HID relays universal? not sure if the Xentec hid relay is the same as another brand's, if they are then just get one off of ebay. the only site i know that sells them is DDM tuning, but you won't get it for a few weeks and since you have a headlight out you might not want to wait that long.

This might sound stupid... but was this on the AUTO setting? If so, turn your light off and then turn them on again. Sometimes that will make the other one fire up.

You might have just got a bad bulb/ballast and it blew. you could try testing to see if it's a bat set if you swap the two sides, and see if the same light stays off or not.

Regarding your radio static, not sure why you would get static from turning on your lights.. where did you mount your ballasts? maybe you mounted them too close to the radio antenna??
