HIDs problem?

Ok I bought some 10k hids from Buyhids.com..
Well The problem is that when I turn my headlights on like one side will be blue BUT the other side will be like a purplish color..So I turned my headlights back off and turn them on again and the side that was working good that was blue So now that light turns purplish and the other side is blue now..WTF is going on lol...I wish you guys can help me out cause i don't know what to do about it...I have a relay harness on it but its weird cause they both wont stay blue..Any help will be appreciated..Thanks guys!!

Check connections like stated already.

Also check voltage to make sure that's good as well. Sounds like one or the other isn't firing right.

Not at all. We are however going to be phasing out our HID lineup and strictly carring Morimoto, Phillips and other OEM and TRS style brands. People gotta remember, I send about 100+ kits out a week..not everyone is going to post the good. Actually the good is rarely posted. We take care of anyone who contacts us first
