Default HID Issues, help please

So I have ran 9006's in my Sonars for two years. at the end of their life, the left bulb blew first. i replaced the bulbs, but the left one blew almost immediately. I bought a new HID kit, installed them (plug and play simple stuff)... driver side blew once again. I switch ballasts and bulbs, and the passenger side ballast and bulbs that were working.. blew on the driver side again. WTF?!? Any Ideas? I want some light in this dark cold season. Someone make me happy damn it!

P.s., thank you for all of your help...

This, or my bet would be a short in the wiring somewhere. How do the connectors look?

Apparently Cheap ballasts make a difference. Switched HID companies and all is well... Thanks all.

yeah, HID's are like anything else, you get what you pay for. There is a reason some cost 29.00 and some cost 150.00!
