High Beam Problem

High guys.
I got a 99 e55AMG and have recently bought new black headlight units for it. I also got a set of Xenon H3 bulbs for the high beams located in the smaller sidelights of the full headlight unit. I started with the right (as you are in the car) light and removed the unit. Installed the original headlight xenon headlight bulb, new LED bulb for the sidelights and the original indicator bulb and installed the new xenon high beams to the sidelights. The Xenon high beams worked for about 5 seconds and then turned themselves off. I tried a normal bulb again from both the headlight and the connector in the bonnet and there is no power going to the highams at all. Checked all fuses and found no breaks. The wierd thing is that the left headlight with the original high beam bulb worked fine even though the right bulb wasnt getting any power. I tried taking the right high beam wires, splting them and running the wire to the left for the side lights but when i installed the xenons to the right as well the same thing happened, they both worked for 5 seconds and turned off. and now i have no high beams. The headlights, sidelights and indicators work fine but no power is getting to the high beams at all. Anyone know why this could be happening?
Any help much appreciated.
