Yep, I'd say your bulbs are done. What's your MINI info? year, etc? I can get you the right bulbs for replacement.

thank you all, and pelican. i have read many of your articles while modding our cars.
i had swapped over a bulb from my 05 to my wifes 06 mcs checkmate, and it still doesnt work.
i put my bulb back in my car, and it works, so what do we think it could be??
i did take the bad bulb from my wifes, put it in mine, and sure enough it is burnt. in addition to a bulb, i think something else is bad.
i did notice that the small wires that connect to the pack on the back of the bulb were exposed. i put some electrical tape on them now, put possibly maybe a fuse is also out?
what do you think

i appreciate it. basically, i took my good/working bulb and ballast out of my mini, put it in hers, and it doesn't work. I then took her ballast and tested it on my vehicle, and it works, so it looks like all the ballasts work on my vehicle.
for all intents and purposes, her car has a working bulb and ballast, and it still wont turn on (driver side). what would be next to check, considering the fact that the bulb and ballast do work.
thank you all for your consideration

I had to go back and re-read the thread, since I'm getting confused
Her car sounds like it has a wiring issue somewhere. Need a good multimeter to start checking the harness connections.
This is a good resource for HID related issues, too:
