I would check to see if the ballast is getting 12 volts with the switch being on. That's a good starting point. Normally I'd say swap components from side to side but that's not gonna work here...

The 9006 brights are a separate harness then the D2S low beam harness. Hope that helps!

It's not like some German cars where one connection feeds the whole headlight
