It's mounted to the back of the headlight. Not sure if new genuine ones are readily available, but you can purchase an aftermarket set of hids which will fit and do the same job if you purchase quality replacements. Change both sides.

Thanks mate I have replaced both globes and they both work in the left hand side but not in the right hand side the globes are dis hid LEDs there maybe a problem with the cable that comes out of the head light it's self all other lights work except for the low beam on the right side

If it's hid, it will be on the back of the headlight.
Actually, the ballast is on the underside of the headlamp assembly and can be seem in the pic pinched from the ballast link posted above.

IIRC the hid globes are inserted from the rear of the headlamp assembly and plug into the ballast harness that may be internal to the assembly itself.

Seems changing ballast and globes ain’t cheap :rolleyes:
