xenon problem

i have a 1997 e320 with xenons.
when i turn the headlights on, one will stay on and the other will turn on for about 1 second and then stay off.
i was told that if it was the ballast, it would not turn on at all.
if it was the bulb, it would not turn on at all.
but could it be the ignitor?

It Can Be The Ballast and or the Ignitor...
The Bulb Either works or does Not
Early W210s are easy to remove headlights...remove both...to swap parts...then NO Guess work
