Uh oh, there's a downfall to Trevor's kit! lol.

Check all of your connections especially your ground wires.

Maybe there's a loose wire somewhere or within the bulb itself.

Check the connection. The bulb could be loose.

Let's not ban yet. First I want to see proof of his advertising.

Since you wont have any (which might constitute false advertising since it was stated as a fact, not sure though) please define how you are measuring the brightness in order to make such a statement.

-Dave, who looks forward to the lack of response, but does hope there will be one.

This is def. advertising. Look at his profile, he lists the site as his address!

Any company that claims that "blue" or colored bulbs provide better visibility shows lack of lighting knowledge. I would be skeptical in their claims and would most likely not purchase from them.

"Want to be different? Upgrading to Rainbow Blue is nothing short of enlightening. Not only will your car get noticed, you'll have improved visibility. "

Catz has had double charged Xenon bulbs for a long time now. Not to mention they are of much higher quality.

Site also mentions the fact that their bulbs run at a cooler temperature? Give me a break, look at the picture, those are 90W bulbs (low beam). That would generate a TON more heat. This site is full of lies and deception. Perhaps the vendor has been mislead or he is clueless, but some of the claims are rediculous.
Finally, site mentions:

"MotionR is only manufacturers to have “exclusivity” to this unique and patent pending coating process"

This is BS (also fix your damn grammar. It is a business website, you should have checked all your grammar before publishing it). Just because there is a patent pending, does not mean crap. This just means a patent application has been submitted. I am willing to bet that as soon as the patent examiner reads the application, it will be rejected.

The troll is gone. Now back to the original topic...

Just check all connections. I'd try swapping ballasts and see if the problem follows the ballasts or follows the wiring, etc. There isn't much to troubleshoot here, cuz Trevor's kits don't come with any wiring except for the harness.
