try this quick, on the wires that dont work, put 2 jumper wires so you can switch the voltage. like how they hook up with a direct plug in, try putting it so tan(stock headlight wiring) goes to black(hid ground) and red(hid wiring) to black(stock headlight wiring).

edit, yea after looking as close as possible at the pic, it does seem the 3 "bad" wires have the terminals switched. a regular 9005 halogen bulb does not care which terminal is which but the HID ballasts are very specific. many aftermarket HID kits mess that up. Was that issue on my friends charger when i installed some.
