It's likely the ballast... the bulb would turn purple instead of just going out and it's probably not the fuse. In my experience, the ballasts are very sensitive.

You'll have to remove the headlight. The ballast is secured to the bottom of the light with 3 or 4 torx screws and it's plug and play.

No, that's not the ballast. You can see the ballast at 1:43 in the video, the silver metal piece on the right side of the assembly.
