Headlight PROBLEM... Please HELP

Please HELP...

I recently purchased an aftermarket HID conversion kit from VERTEXAUTO (an aftermarket Porsche parts company) for my 99 C4 and was installing it when I ran into a problem. I was following the installation instructions which indicated the lower bulb was the LOW beam. After hooking up the ballast and remaining assembly, nothing happened. I pulled out my manual and it indicated the top bulb was the LOW beam. I switched it around and the HID bulb worked perfectly. Then I discovered a problem. My FOG, HIGH, and PARKING bulbs (all of which run off the wiring harness that I initially hooked everything up to) were barely illuminating. I fear I may have burned up the wiring harness within the headlight assembly when I hooked up the ballast/igniter to the incorrect wiring harness.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?? I removed the HID kit and reinstalled the original bulbs. LOW beams and turn signals work perfectly, but the HIGH, FOG, and PARKING bulbs barely illuminate on the headlight that I initially hooked up incorrectly. The other headlight still functions correctly so I don't believe it to be a fuse.

Any suggestions??

Thanks.
