Check bat V with the hids ON and OFF. Make sure its constant with the hids turned ON. When a ballast is failing the load will begin to oscillate. That said, I doubt the HIDs are causing the problems you describe unless theres some other underlying wiring issue. I suppose this could also be a symptom of a failing VR. the HID was just the straw that broke the camels back.
hid screwing up car?
so i swapped my 55w HIDs from my w201 into my w124 and it worked for a bit just had to modify the metal tangs on the HID bulbs.
then things got weird,,, all of the sudden i lost my dash light for nighttime driving, but everything else worked. then i noticed that when i turn the lights on my radio no longer dimmed but the headlights, side markers, and fog lights still work? i visually checked the fuse and it's good, any ideas except to go back regular lights? i really need the HID's for the low light conditions and high deer traffic that is around the area...
