HID wiring question!

I have four HID bulbs, ballasts, and housings. one pair is 35w and the other pair is 55w. I have my low beams wired with the 35w ones, and the brights wired with 55w. My low beams work, but when I hit my brights, on the two brights turn on and the lows turn off. Why aren't all four lit up?

Thanks for the help!

It's probably to prevent over heating of the ballasts, that's my guess.
