Could be a few different possible problems.
The bulbs aren't fully seated in the lamp housing.
The bulbs were installed in the wrong orientation in the housing (note there are 3 tabs on the bulb base, one is larger then the other 2, this is to key orientation, but in the H13 you can install them wrong)
You assembled the wiring incorrectly for the hi/lo control. (the wiring harness should prevent it)
The manufacturer wired the hi/lo control incorrectly.
The bulbs are defective.
I would put money on the problem being improperly seated and improperly oriented lamps.

Technically, yes. But if you go out and look at the orientation of the drivers side bulb compared to the passenger, it will probably not be the same. The ceramic rod should be facing down.
Again, it all has to do with orientation. Most people get it right, as the tabs and holes in the headlight assembly theoretically prevent this. However, he's not the first member on the forum to do this and I'm sure he won't be the last. Single bulb hi/lo kits work by using an electromagnet to make the bulb move up and down. To achieve the high beam effect, the magnet moves the bulb up when you flick your highs.
What kit do you have that makes you place the bulb in a certain way? Buckeye need more info lol what kind of kit you have etc. fogs work fine?
