I am having problems with my HID kit as well. They installed fine but the bulb on the left side doesn't want to come out of high beam. Could it just be a bad bulb? The right side works just fine. I feel kind of bad high beaming everybody with HID's at night lol.

HID's require a certian Voltage otherwise the Ballasts won't allow the HID to "light" my FC has 12k Purples and when i had a failing alternator they would flicker, and then shut off. if i turned them off and on again, they would light up, flicker and die.

an issue you might be having is Low voltage reaching the OEM connectors due to High Resistance building up in your factory wiring. us a DMM (DVOM) and find out how much + voltage is reaching the connector. your gonna have to have it connected to a light and functioning properly (stock light will work) because Resistance will not affect the Circuit UNLESS Amperage is flowing. your NEED 10 - 13v reaching the connector to rule out a Resistance issue. hope this helps.

on the factory mazda plug for the headlights the top wire (red with a black stripe) is positive for low beams and the one to the left (solid black) is your ground and the other (red with white stripe) is for your high beams. I have my ballast wired for my low beams and they work fine no flickering or flashing at all. I didnt get the bi-xenon. I have the ebay xentec 10k kit.
