Default HID conversion/headlight door problems

I'm trying to gather info on how we have solved the various headlight door opening/closing problems after installation of HID headlight bulbs. Some have recommended a fuse(s) change from 10 to 20 Amps, etc, etc. All data is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I either have to turn them back off, then on again, or turn them on using high beams to get them to come up. They always go down correctly. Not a big deal, but if anyone finds a for sure fix, I am all ears too.
