The only difference of the two are the new ballast have 10a lin max. My 6k lo have a 5.5a lin max. Is this why my lights are stuck on high?

I have made sure I have good ground, and good connections. I also have after market headlight houseing's.
Sounds like you may have the high & low wires mixed up.

Wire in. Your hi and Lo beam are both in the same bulb
Not necessarily. There are two kinds of hi/lo kits advertised. One uses a HID low beam, and a halogen bulb. The other uses a single HID bulb for both.

So to answer the question, no you do not need another pair, you just need to ensure you buy the appropriate kit.

I have heard NOTHING but bad reviews about both of these kits
I've ran an eBay HID kit for years on my truck with no problems, I know many people on this forum (as well as other forums) would say the same thing.
