Default HID problem

ok guys I have a problem. I figured i'd post in the accord forum cause you get more discussion on this type of thing. I have some 9006 phoenix microlite phillips bulbs and ballasts. I took them out of my Acura (in which they worked perfect for over a year) and put them into my new Silverado. All was well for the first day.
Then at night I went out and turned my lights on, and the right one ignited for about 10 seconds and then immediately went out after. I checked all fuses, relays, connections, etc, and found no problems with anything. Then it happened the day after and the day after. I always get my hopes up and then bam! It goes out after a brief excitement. Sometimes when you flip the switch off and on again it will ignite and stay ignited, but its a really iffy situation. I dont know whether its the bulb, ballast, or what.
Does anyone know what the problem is? This pisses me off, I made a special effort to not touch the bulbs or anything and now I'm getting problems in my new truck. Thanks for any help
Rob
