Headlight issues

Hello, I have HID kits installed o my 2008 R56 Club, and the drivers isde headlight went out a few weeks ago, It will turn on but only in High Beam, So i purchased a new set of the same Kit installed it but the low beam did not work again, ,only he high beam, I replaced the bulb thinking that might be the issue, but the same thing, Could it be a grounding issue? Appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

Hello, You are in the convertible R52 section. You need the R56 section.

With the Xenon headlights, there's one bulb and a flap/reflector that moves to switch between high and low beams. Sounds like it is not switching back and forth, since the replacement does the same thing sounds like the actuator is bad or you have a connector/wiring issue.
