weird headlight problem

Hey guys I need an electrical guru.

My car, a 2000 box has aftermarket "xenon" bulbs in the headlights. These were just cheap bulbs and worked great for what they cost. I've had this set in for close to a year now, until one of them (pass. fog light) went out. I thought this was no big deal because I already had a spare set. I did the swap, and when I turned it on it was a dark brown looking light. I tried several new bulbs and all were the same. i even put the ORIGINAL factory bulb in and it looked the same. Also, when I turn on the high beams, the good headlight dims the foglight and brightens the main light. that works on that side but not on the side that I just replaced the bulb, the foglight stays kindof "half lit" the whole time, while the main brightens. Any ideas?

Im at a loss to what it is and any ideas are appreciated!
