Angry Hid low beam failure message?

I have a 2001 Volvo S60. I installed a aftermarket HID kit. I hooked everything up and it all ran fine for a couple days and I noticed after that the passenger side ballast burnt out twice on me. So I figured to give a HID relay kit a try. I hooked up the kit and now my car starts up stronger and feels stronger with the relay kit hooked up. I now have a new problem, I have a low beam dip failure message that will not go away. The little orange warning light right in the middle of the dash will also not go away. I tried doing the trip reset, and unplugging the positive and negative terminals on the battery and holding them both together for 5 minutes and nothing has worked!?!? Is it possible to make the HID's work with the relay kit? Up the amps, fuses? Does anyone have similar issues or think they might have a answer to this? ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH AHEAD OF TIME )

See now I feel bad for trying to joke with a newbie. Hit s40concepts.net. Those guys are all about mods and if this problem has ever happened they will have the answer for you. Matter of fact I'm pretty sure I've seen a pose on this there. Good luck.http://s40concepts.net/forum/index.p...art=0&count=15

that may help.
