The stereo shop states it is because of the lower resistance in the HID system causing it to illuminate. It does not bother me as I know when the HID high-beams are on just from viewing the road. They are like mini suns beaming a path of light...

Cost for me was $3-400 and well worth it.
Correct on the high beam light.. it is wired 'cheaply' in 91 they did it better.
