I've had this problem for a while now, where when I turn on my headlightsonly one works at a time. When I had my factory USDM pop-uplights I tried changing the bulb assembly on the side that would not light up during low-beam operation. Didn't work, I know have swapped on the S13 front end, due to a front end collision. Now when I turn on my lights the low beam on the driver's side is on, and the passenger side is off. When I turn on the high beams the driver's side doens't work, and the passenger side projector works. What the F is the problem can someone help... PLEASE!!!

start by making sure your they work, make sure your have power at the lights (use test light) for H\L check fuses, maybe rewired and power for that light could come from somewhere else.

I did not have to splice wires, they came with a plug that fit straight up to my originals plug. The only splicing i did was hooking the middle amber projectors up to my old headlight pop-up button on my dash.

Did you remove the two headlight motor relays located in the fuse box in the front portion of the engine bay on the drivers side and loop the wires together? I think the colors are light pink and purple, my car is at the shop right now so I cannot go check on mine. You need to do this if you wired lights into your exsisting pop up light switch. There's a write up on this site with a guy that shows it with a diagram. Do a search for "jdm lights" or "projectors" and it should come up.
