The way the HIDs work is that there is only one source of light. There is a shutter that moves inside the bulb. When it is partially blocking the light you have low beams. When the shutter moves out of the way you have high beams.

One of the modules in the kit controls the movement of the shutter. You might be able to get it back in sync by unplugging one headlight and then changing high/low beam and then plugging it back in. I don't know that this will work. It's just a suggestion.
