My automatic spoiler quits being automatic. Turning off the lights solves that also.

So, can anyone help me with the above mentioned? My battery is still strong. The car starts perfectly every time (even after a 3 week vacation).
Edit:

Some cars, not all, do not like aftermarket HID kits. Well documented if you lookup for Oil/Battery/Spoiler issues (google).

Looks like I will have to refund you a set of ballasts and you'll need to try a another HID kit that works for your car "specifically". Your nearest HID guru shop should be able to identify/fit a ballast type that works for your car (request CANBUS). What causes this is unknown yet (according to my research anyway). Your car seems to be that one car out of 200 who is not aftermarket HID kit friendly. Sorry to hear that man, not sure what to say here....

Give me a call if you prefer to talk, or email (I'm on the same address). Report back here when fixed
