This is also the 2nd pair of headlights that have done this now so i'm positive it's not because of defective headlights. I think the wattage may have something to do with it but I'm not sure. Has anyone actually succussfully switched over to an HID kit yet? Was also looking at the e90 post where someone did a parachute method, but I didn't exactly understand how it worked, and i did read the whole thread.
I would test them to direct 12v source like with a spare car battery or a booster box before plugging them into your car. This way you can rule out defective headlights.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
