Does this HID kit you bought have a 'centralized' controller with a relay? If so, I suspect the controller it'self is bad, or the relay. It's supposed to switch of the low beams and activate the high beams. Does your HID kit also have HID's for the high beams, or just the low beams?
Two other possibilities: check the fuse box for a blown fuse, or at the worst, two blown high beam filiments in your HID bulbs.

Check your 3 wire h13 connector. Might have to change around the wiring on the hid side of the harness.

Make sure that the connector going into the pass side headlight plug is tight. If it's loose, then it won't receive the signal telling it to switch to High. You probably just have a loose wire, I had the same thing on my driverside headlight. Pass would go hi/lo, Driver would go nothing/lo. Checked connections, problem fixed
