Default HID Problem help me please

I dont know how to describe this but i will try my best. I bought Xentec HID kit and when i am done running my lights i turn my lights off with the car running they go off and then i turn the car off and the HID's come back on for a little while and then i hear a buzzing sound and i could feel it through my light switch it had a slight vibration to it so i yanked the HID kit and i am wounder of any solutions possibly a relay kit may fix this ?

My jeep did this when i installed My Heavy Duty Harness..the light switch made a Horrible Buzzing sound....Double check that you have everything hooked up right.

ok i started a thread about this aswell its coming from under the steering column right??? What i did that seem to fix the problem is i connected them to the high beams... the problem is that the ballast for the Hids still has power and the relay is sensing that and continues clicking on and off... sometimes it wouldnt but most of the time yes.. i tried different ways of wiring them and same problem accured but when i connected to the high beam it stopped.. the only thing now is when i turn the lights on nothing happens i have to set it at high beams to work.. not to much of a problem other than the HB Light in the car..
