Help! Water inside headlight! HID Ballast fried?

Its been raining in my area for the past few days and yesterday my passenger side headlight stopped working. I decided to replace the HID bulb thinking the bulb went out and as soon as I pulled back the plastic fender liner, I noticed that the plastic cap behind the ballast was open and filled with water.

This is what I'm talking about.


I inspected the bulb and the ballast and there was no water present. I tried switching the bulb anyways and it still isn't lighting up. My LED, Fog, and Turn signals still work even though there was condensation inside the headlight.

I figure I probably need to replace the ballast but I would rather ask for peoples opinions first. Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
