Okay, there's one main hitch in the giddy-up here. HID lights consume LESS power than "regular" lights. You can go strictly by the wattage consumed. HID's typically take about 35 watts while non-HID's take 55 watts. This depends upon exactly what type of bulb you're comparing to. Sounds to me like the dealer is simply blaming your HID addition for the problem because he doesn't know how to fix it. All he has to do is check the voltage across the solenoid.
