Default yet another HID headlight upgrade question...

so i got this kit from a guy locally and it came with wiring harness, ballasts, relays, bi-xenon bulbs/housings, the works basically... had to splice 2 wires to tie it into the passenger side stock housing, did that and the passenger side HID's worked while the driverside halogen was on... pulled the driverside and swapped everything in there and bam, no dice on either side... i ran a jumper wire from the brights to the normal lights on the housing and they both worked...

my questions are, did anyone else have this problem while switching to HID's on their cherokee?
what did you do to bypass it? im thinking a fuseable link...
would a relay work? as long as the relay has the prongs in a L shape, it should id assume..
and last, is the driverside the hot side with the wiring? should i run wires from passenger side to driverside to activate the new form of headlights?

btw i hate electronics and only know enough to get me by, sorry for sounding retarded..
