lol the problem started the same day you installed a HID kit and you are asking the crowd what could be a mysterious electrical problem?! Was great you found the problem "first" at the end

relays are DC12-24-48volts good to go and everywhere mate. ebay is a good shop

Just a side note about using HIDs for high beams:

Most companies and individuals don't use HIDs as a separate high beam because of the time it takes for the bulb to get to normal operating temps. If you use them for long periods of time in remote areas where you aren't blinding people then they might be better. They won't be very effective flashing for a warning and the short on/off period will most likely greatly reduce bulb life.

Bi Xenon headlights are usually the only ones to use HID bulbs as a high beam and that's not how the litronics were designed.

Those are valid points, the actually flash pretty well but then dim and slowly brighten to full power all in about two seconds. I can say however that even when at the dimmest of the warming cycle they are brighter that the stock (pathetic) hi beams. Also once warmed momentary dimming for on coming cars doesn't really have any warm up period, they go straight back to full power. I do live in the rural mountains of colorado so I really need great headlights... high and low.
