Sounds like you need a current stabilizer "error cancelers". A lot of new cars have this issues.
They run about $15 to $20 for a pair in most online HID stores.

I had the exact same issue. I bought a cheap kit on eBay and they use to turn off after 5 minutes and then put an error on the dash. I did the installation myself and was easy. After 2 weeks of having this issue, i was thinking that the car had a problem and since I was still under warranty, i went to the Audi dealership near my house. they put me back the original halogen bulb and the problem was gone. They told me that if I want an hid kit, I can only install an canbus ballast hid kit. I did my research online and I did find 1 store selling the canbus for only 110. I bought my hid conversion kit and I went to the dealer to make the installation this time. I FINALLY HAVE WORKING XENON LIGHTS Audi dealership sell them as option for 1000$. I bought my hid kit for 110$ and I have the exact same lightning as the original hid kit sold at the dealership.
if anyone have any question, PM me.
