One issue though is that if the car is not on the left driver side headlight will turn off after like 30 seconds. If the car is on they don’t seem to turn off.

Great - I'm surprised that the information about the fuse popped into my mind. I'm glad it saved you the expense of buying new ballasts - especially since that wouldn't have solved the problem.
Regarding the headlight not staying on - I suggest that you check your battery and measure the voltage it is putting out when the car is off. Based on the information you provided about your test with the external power source, its possible that your particular set of litronics need close to 14 volts to power up and remain on. When the car is running the electrical system is generating over 14 volts. When the car is off, the battery is probably putting out around 12.4 volts.
Remember the parts came from a car that was manufactured somewhere between the end of 1998 and the middle of 2004. Your lights could be over 20 years old. I don't fully understand how the ballasts work, but they may require more power as they age.
Good luck and enjoy your new lights.
