New HID's causing electrical problem?? Is my ECU fried?
So today I changed out my headlights to aftermarket 8000K HID's. I had 6000K in before this, and they worked fine for around a year. After testing and confirming the lights to work, I left my car for around 6 hours. I came back to test the lights again and when I go to turn them off, the headlights wouldn't turn off! Headlight stalk wouldn't do anything, high beams were unresponsive as well. Then I realized the key fob wasn't working, the door unlock button wasn't working, and so I unlocked the door from outside (reaching in through the window). The alarm went off as its supposed to so that was at least working.. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop though as the car was still unresponsive to everything else. Key wouldn't do anything. I haven't tried starting it yet and if that doesn't work tomorrow I'll try putting the OEM bulbs back in.. Any idea what could be causing this though? I really really hope these $20 bulbs didn't somehow screw up the ECU
