Default baffled by HID problem

I just installed HIDs in my 00 trans am i went ahead and did low beams, high beams, and foglights. the high and low beams work great, but the foglights have been doing weird things.
First time firing them up the passenger side didnt light up, so i checked my wiring found a loose wire fixed it an both lights worked
then i put the bumper back on the car, fired it up again and neither fog was working, gave it a few min (beer break) and both were working again.
Now after double checking things again, and having all my wiring correct and tight sometimes the drivers side will come on and the pass will be out and other times the pass will come on and the drivers wont?
any ideas?
Thanks

Is it with the car running? If not, you might not have enough voltage from the battery to run all the lights....
