The only possibility left is the Phillips ballast, which I haven't swapped because they are taped under the engine bay. Is there any way I can tell if the Ballast is no good? When I turn on the light there's a clicking noise that lasts for a second at the supposedly bad ballast.

I can tell you one thing that might have caused it to die - daytime running light circuit. If you have daytime running lights on your car, what happens is the module sends a lower voltage to the headlight assembly and the HID ballast would try to ramp that voltage up to the HID's operating voltage. It would burn it out in a rather untimely manner.
If you don't have DRL's on your car, nevermind.
