HIDs draining power??

[dubz_wm]

i recently fitted my hids to my cupra (mydepot kit) all was good for the first couple hrs use, then i managed to blow one of my led sidelight bulbs (maybe coinsidence) now when ever i indicator or brake or even turn on the interior light, the hids dim and flicker for a split second.... have i created a bad earth or would this be down to a faulty ballast? both bulbs are doing this at the same time. had a little search but i didnt find much. any help?

cheers

sounds like a bad earth...

or you could consider not using the standard loom and using the relay option as this will then draw power directly from the battery and not through the standard car loom.
