A simple analogy is these Hid lights operate like an ignition system.There is a ballast/igniter unit bolted to the lower part of the headlight which produces a high voltage to "strike"the gas in the xenon bulb.The only real test that can be made is to ensure that there is a good power supply and earth to the ballast unit.The bulb cannot be tested with a meter.If it is just 1 light inop,it is best to test by substitution with the other side.hth
