Ballasts won't continue to run with an under/over voltage condition, they have a set voltage range they work in. Sometimes it requires using a relay kit to use power directly from the battery to keep a constant good stream of 12v. Most of your smaller circuits in newer cars have quite a bit of voltage fluctuation as accessories get turned on/off, they're pretty sensitive to minor voltage drops.

Looks like it is a bad ballast. Swapped the ballasts and passenger side wont come on now.
