Ok no more caps. The box for my hid's say "Vision HID". I'm assuming that is the brand. There is a picture of a Mercedes on the front ofthe box.

OK, take a breathe, type slowly and use lower case letters when applicable.

We'll try to figure this thing out.

Try switching (left to right or right to left) the ballasts or the bulbs to see what happens.

Deezo, I tried the 'ol switcheroo tonight. One of my starters isn't working properly. Both bulbs are still mint! I'm going to have to look around for a new starter/ignitor. Any ideas where i can get a headlight/fog/corner Hanabi conversion kit or something similar?
