My concern is that I had both working tonight. When I went to mount the passangers side ballast, electricity was jumping from the actual ballast box to the body of the car. Is that a factory flaw or is the ballast supposed to flow electricity through the box and ground with the body of the car? Osram ballasts suck!

How about this. Your headlights receive +12v all the time. They are switched on the ground side of the connection. So if your ballast touches metal and grounds out, it will turn the light on. Osram ballasts are not junk if they're the ones I'm thinking of (like the Hella Gen III).
