Default Electrical faults

After a HID Conversion my ABS, ESP, and break light come one. I restart the car 2 times and the problem goes away. It only seems to happen when i turn on the lights. Any thoughts or suggestions? i did see something about putting a relay or capacitor or even a resistor in line. Does anyone know what method will work?

what HID kit did you go with? is there a link online you can show us? some are plug and play and some require some more advanced modification to make it compatible, from what i understand. generally most are plug and play, but slight chances are that it isn't.

possibly check the connection...original wires to ballast to hid bulb itself

I Went with the vvme kit. The install just had you dirrect connect to the original wire harness for the power. Is that what you did? Or did you use the alternative wire diagram. The only thing that i can think of is that the unit a drawing allot of initial current thus causeing the other systems to be effected. Now if i use the alternative wire diagram the system would draw power dirrectly from the battery. I could add a inrush current limiter component on the line to ramp up the current so that the system does not have a drop in current. Is there a reprograming needed of the system? Or is there something else i need to do?

I dissconnected one of the lights and used one light and no problem came through. I am guessing that there is not enought power so i am trying the alternative wire diagram.
