Based on this, I believe it is either the ignitor on the bulb going out, or less likely the ballast? All the while the addative error remains so I am guessing it's that is caused by the AHL module, and i've read after drying that out it could potentially work.

When you say the seals, I suppose you mean the ones on the headlight assembly cover itself? Looks like it may be salvagable....without replacement modules

Yes seals on the rear covers you remove to change a bulb. If you end up removing the lights to change out the ballasts, replace any seals there as well. Don't remember off hand whats down there for seals. There is a DIY on this forum for removing headlights in the DIY section.
