Makes me think you have a bad connection or a short. Check the OEM plug where you plugged in the HID's to make sure it isn't loose, an intermittant or bad connection can cause current to spike. Also check the stock wires to make sure they aren't rubbing and shorted on metal, and also the wires between the stock plug and the HID box. _________________________ 2007 LeMans Blue/2-Tone Gray MN6 Coupe, 3LT, Z51, QX1, CC3, R8C Mods List
