Help.. MY HIDs will turn on by themselves and kill battery Ok, i went outside today to a dead battery. The battery is the orginal AC Delco that lasted me over 4 years.. Went and got a new battery after installing i noticed that when i lock my car, the HID goes off which is normal but after 1 minutes, they come back on and never shut off. So i removed the harness and through the stock halogen bulbs back in. Problem is gone.. So the HID killed my battery over night.. So much questions is, what could be causing both my HID lights to just come on.. Bad relay?

its an impala ss... yea i took the relay out and it was so corroded. The relay socket was a little corroded to but not as bad as relay. i took that apart and cleaned it up a little bit. I will pick up new relay tomm. I probably used half a roll of electrical tape on the thing back when i installed them due to ppl complaning about water getting in. Lasted me 3 years.. Thanks for the help guys.. A little dissapointed i spent big bucks on a new battery but I guess 4 years was pushing it for the upcoming winter.
