Default HID problems...

So I installed HID's some time back, and I never really drove my car at all to even notice a problem until today.

I went to turn on my HID's, and my lowbeams wouldn't come on, so I flicked it to high beams and they turned on.

Does anyone know why my HID's aren't turning on for low beam? I think it's the low-beam light thats turning on when highbeams are on, but then I can't have foglights on so it sucks ;/

Edit ; ****ed around with connections and stuff, finally got them to work. I drove around for 20 minutes and then I started hitting a few little bumps in the road and they would flicker on and off so I was like for **** sakes, ****ty connection.

as soon as I pulled up into my garage and before I shut my car off, the HID's turned off again on low beam. I couldn't get them to work then I took it all back out, cleaned everything, and put them back in now its working again... is there a solution for this? it seems like the connection is always too loose.

I bought the better set of HID's I could find, I'm going to redo the whole setup with some contact cleaner for this kind of stuff.
