Then try these in order and continue down the list ONLY if it still doesn't work properly:
1. Switch xenon bulb only from the passenger HL to driver side.
2. Put back the driver side xenon bulb back and switch igniter ONLY from the passenger side to the driver side HL.
3. Switch BOTH the xenon bulb and the igniter from the passenger HL to the driver side HL.
4. Connect the passenger HL to driver side harness. If the mainbeam (xenon) is the only one not working then it would seem that there is a wiring harness/connector problem o nthe driver side.
The power feed to the AE is the same for the xenon (internally in the headlight). So, if the AE works then the xenon should work unless something INSIDE the HL itself is bad.
BTW ... when I changed my HLs to Euros they would NOT come on initially until I STARTED the car - not just turn the HL switch all the way on. Just soemthign to keep in mind.
Try those and report back.
Also, check here to make sure you're isntalling the bulb and igniter properly:

Dear Twinspoppa, i must thank you very much for your earlier post, i just learned from this thread step by step to remove the front bumper and take out all the headlights assembly, i exchanged the bulb, igniter and the ballast, they all worked well at the passenger side, finally i exchanged the headlights assembly, the Xenon lights worked well at the passenger side, so i judged that there is no problem with the headlight itself, it maybe problem with the harness, but as you told the power to the Xenon light also supplied the power to AE and turn lights, i really confused. it is so amazing!
thanks again for your help.
