Could it also be the ballast ?

Probably because they are a PITA to R&R. You have to remove 2 small brass screws, have almost zero room to get torx screw driver and your fingers in there at the same time. Drop one of the screws and your in deep do do as NOBODY has spares. Plus you have to move the bracket to the new bulb.

Why does the manual on p.5-53 say to see the dealer to have the low beam replaced? And on P.5-55 it does not list the low beam bulb #,only the high beam bulb #.
The low beam high intensity discharge lighting system operates at a very high voltage. If you try to service any of the system components, you could be seriously injured. Have your dealer/retailer or a qualified technician service them. |
High voltage... Yes if you work on them while they are on.. You can always disconnect the battery ground cable.

I would say this would be more likely than the bulb since the bulb actually does still work.
OP, the bulb is not hard to change, but the screws that hold it in place require a torx. The screws are easy to lose also, and not easy to find. |
It's pretty simple. Rotate the front wheel out of the way, remove the access cover in front of the wheel by removing the reusable push/pull clips. Keep a telescoping magnet close by the tip of your screwdriver to catch the retaining screw when removing the bulb. Of course don't touch the replacement bulbs glass surface with your fingers.

Magnet will work as I have done it.
