Default HID issues

Bought a brand new hid kit, put them in and when I turned them on they worked fine but when I turned them off my headlight switch whined and clicked until I pulled it back out to on position but the head lights were off, then I hit my high beam switch just to see what happened they stayed on until I messed with the headlight switch again then they went off. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

You got a relay? If not, get a relay. That might fix you up.

You need the relays or it will burn up your headlight switch.
