Actually a common problem with an easy fix.
Your HIDs are 35 watt and the loe beam bulbs you replaced are 55 watt (High beams still are 55 watt) The computer knows to lower the lights when it senses a voltage drop from the 55 watt bulb going out. That is why turning on the high beams for a second works. And why the voltage drop from 35 watt is not the right signal for the computer to tell the lights to close.
Fix is to contact JW Motoring a forum vendor here and put his resistor in line then it work like stock.
