Hey im having a small problem with my 35w low beam hid. Only left side dim (blink) a little when im driving i changed the ballast and buld. They are brand new and still doing the same thing. And is not because of the sound system because i have a capacitor and it does it with the music off. Problem is only with the left side right side is perfect. Idk its wierd.. haha what could it be???

I've bought quite a few sets of DDM Tuning HID kits in the past for some friends and two sets for myself (both used in projectors) - which are cheap - and never had an issue with any of them. You should get a relay harness to run them too...that might fix the issues you're currently having. HID's when they are first turned on use more amperage at start-up than halogens, even though they are 35w compared to the 55w halogen lights, the current draw in the first few seconds of start-up is considerably more and the wire gauge probably isn't enough to carry the current the HID's require, which is where the relay harness comes into play. Like Stephen said, it could also be a ground issue. Amazon has some relay harnesses for a good price. Either way it wouldn't be a bad idea to run a relay harness either with your current ones to see if it fixes the problem, or on a new set of HID's.
