Sounds like you just happen to have some kind of a faulty/ruined kit.
If you are using a higher wattage kit, try a 35W one instead.
Also, if the HID boxes are the metal kind, wrap them in electrical tape, just in case.

I am using the very cheapest kits off Ebay, and have never had problems with them. If two HID kits in a row go bad on you, then the culprit is most likely the wiring in the car or the battery. HID's just tend to be more sensitive than regular bulbs and need a good constant current.
