Driver side HID does not go on high mode

Hello! I just bought an Bi-Xenon HID kit and the driver side bulb won't go on high when I turn them on... Passenger side is fine! I double even triple checked all connections and everything is connected like passenger side! Has anyone ever had this problem?

If it was not grounded properly, it would not function in low beam mode neither... That's why it is strange! Also, I grounded both sides at the same place (same place on each side), so why one would work and not the other? They are wired exactly the same way.

I'm assuming this is a bixenon 9007 bulb. I would check your fuses first, both the left and right high beam are on seperate fuses. If the bulb is staying in low beam mode and not shutting off completely though, you may have a defective bulb.

I'm willing to bet either the little motor in the bulb is stuck, or the mechanism is defective. Those 9007 bixenon bulbs have a small motor in them that moves the bulb into the high beam

It is not a motor, it is a magnet XD Which is activated by electricity soooo... maybe there is no power that goes to the magnet... :S I'll try to find out this week-end!
