Bulbs are relatively simple to change, its a bumper off job, takes about 20 minutes.. Better off buyin 2 bulbs from ebay for colour match, standard bulbs are 4000k d2s
You'd of been better checking it was the bulb before buying one. IMO, if its just stopped working it wont be the bulb, they go pink before they die.
Either your ballast has died (which is common) or the igniter has become disconnected or even broke (which is uncommon).
Best way to test would have been to take the bumper off and swap the ballasts over and see if the issue still occurs. Repeat for the igniter/bulb.

to be honest dont think its the bulb, cause it actually came back on for a bit for a couple of days and now its gone off again...bad connection maybe?

You should have ordere two new bulbs.
You'll end up with a difference after installing the new one.

I have exactly the same problem, i repalced the bulb and the ballest (if thats the black box that clicks onto the bulb) and it worked for a few days and its gone again now.
Anyone have any idea what else i could try?
That's the igniter you replaced.
The ballast is located under the headlight.
I've got this problem aswell. Passenger side wasn't working this morning so I had a look and it was f**king soacking wet. The rubber cover was off a bit and the water had got it.
Once it dries will it work again or will I need to replace something? That's.

If both are not working check your fuse box. In the wet it's common for moisture to get in and cause problems with the ignition, it may be some water has caused a fuse to trip.
If it's not that then your best to whip both lamps off, take em in the house (airing cupboard overnight is good) just to make sure any water is dried out. Then plug one in and test that then use the other one to swap over the ballast and then the igniter to check if they are working (obviously make sure your bulbs look ok first).
If it's neither of those things then as Garyf above you need someone who knows what they are doing to work out whats wrong. For both to be dead though sounds like one point of failure which should hopefully be the fuse....
