Trying to get the headlight relay kit (Moss p/n 117-515) to work on my TR6.

I know I've done something wrong as only one headlight at a time will light-up. 
When I use low-beam, the left light lights, then high-beam and the right one 
lights up and the left one goes out. The instructions are not all that clear 
about what to hook into what, but I know I haven't switched (or mixed) the 
blue/white and blue/red wires and I have them connected to the bulb wires 
correctly too.

I did replace the headlight "pig tails" with ones from British Wiring. Could 
they have mixed the blue/red and blue/white wires? I think that may cause this 
interesting problem, but I'm not sure.
