Most people fry the CEM relays with the HID swap. You got lucky if it works properly after you put it back stock. There are a few workarounds posted online though.

I tried the hids and leds with ballast, I might have to look for that thread because you can't barely see with the regular bulbs, i also read upgrade to h9 i really dont know if thats going to make much difference.

I don't blame folks one bit for trying to make their headlights brighter. The headlights on my 2005 are seriously dim. Volvo has done some great things. The headlights are not one of them.
