HELP! my oem xenon lowbeams are not working, just got the car a week ago. before i picked it up i noticed some flickering when i would shift a little hard and the

chevy dealership told me it was a bulb and they replaced it... 1 week later, it doesnst work at all. I checked the bulbs and they're fine, what else can it be and how to I test it. All help is appreciated

I would check the Ballast because they are known for failing.
