Could of been that the wire was overloaded and burnt somewere in the harness. I repair this all the time when people hook up cheap bulbs from the swapmeets and try to modd there lighting system. I would not run the driver side off the passanger side unless you want to do the same damage to it. Either fix the problem or use the passanger side to trigger a relay to turn both on.

This is what I'd suggest doing. It's easier than trying to trace the problem, and the results will be better.
