I gave you a perfect example of what to do to determine the problem.
Hell try swapping the ballasts and see if the problem moves.
It's a fairly simple process of elimination.
There is no kit period that is DOT approved. Somewhere in the paperwork/fine print, there is always something that says for off road use only.
Seeing as how it is a 240, I highly doubt the previous owner took the time and money to properly retrofit real projectors and quality parts. More than likely, they bought the cheapest kit they could find. Most of the time, those kits contain some really crappy ballasts. So the first place to start when dealing with this kind of problem is to first swap the ballasts. If the problem moves, then you know it was the ballast. If it doesn't move, then it is more than likely the bulb. To help narrow it down even further, after you move the ballast and the problem doesn't move, then swap the bulbs around. If the problem then moves, then you know it was the bulb. If it still doesn't move, then you can safely say it is a problem in the wiring leading up to that point. Further inspection will be needed to find the problem and correct it.

10,000k is really blue.
8,000k is noticeably blue
6,000k looks white, but you can see some of the blue when it is next to 4300K
4300K is what stock BMW headlights look like.
the higher the kelvin. the less actual light output of the bulb.
Go to HIDplanet.com they have a sticky/faq that will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about HID's.
