One light for one ballast only. It wont handle two.
How loud is the buzz. Can you here it over the engine noise?
They will buzz, especially if you haven't used them for a while, but then should quiet down fairly quickly to a slight hum.
Your ballast may be faulty.
Re check the wiring for arcing, as they run a fairly high voltage from the ballast and can arc out very easily if there is a poor connection.

Sounds like ebay super cheap super crap setup. Get some proper globes instead of that 10k stuff and go from there.

Na it's his car just stating the easiest option. 10k is purple so I fail to see how that is good for light output.

I had 10k low beam in mine once and they were a light blue. Not a bad light actually as they were in a projector.

Thanx For your help the buzz has gone and stereo is working properly but know I have no passenger light is only works when it wants to now so I'll have a look tomorrowAnd my 10k are a bright white
