Default ATTN: HID Guru's. I got a slight problem

Ok, I've noticed this since I first installed my hid kit (Philips plug n play 4300k kit) My drivers side has an arched hue looking pattern maybe 3 feet above the light cutoff and my passenger side doesnt have it. I also notice it when I'm driving behind people because I notice the drivers side looks more purple and flickers while the passenger side just looks regular. These are aftermarket OEM headlights (98-01 integra made by DEPO). I was thinking this might be from RHD since these are probably also used in Japan so they may have been designed to light up street signs better on the drivers side. My other thought was maybe my drivers side ballast is getting more power thus producing that hue. My kit is running off of the same wiring as my halogen, the ballast has a wire that plugs directly into that and thats it. Any comments\suggestions?

Thanks in advance

It's a plug n play kit, the grounds were fine for my halogens so they should be sufficient for the HID's since they draw less current.

i had the same problem, i took one of the screws off of the ballast that was flickering and grounded it and it fixed it... just a suggestion.
