check your fuses, you prolly wired something wrong and shorted the electrical system out, first thing that would go is the main fuse, that goes, you cant start or drive your car... remove hid system completely, then check all fuses under hood and dash.

There are two wiring harness on these cars , a 12v and a 5v which is the reference signal. If you accidentally tap into it the car will do all kinds of weird things ...

Crisis averted. I rechecked all wires and had a loose ground wire. All good now. Its always the little things
