Sounds like a wiring issue or loose contact somewhere. Try swapping the left and right bulbs and see if the problem stays with the wiring or goes with the bulb.

What kind of kit is the hid? For the cheap kit try flickering your high beam.

Your car had factory hids, right? Were the old bulbs working properly? Sounds to me like something is shorting out when you put the bulbs in the housing, or a contact that comes loose.
