2010 Powerstroke Starting Issue
 
I'll preface this by saying last night I installed a plug and play xenon hid kit into my factory fog lights, complete with provided ballasts for the hid lights. No wiring was cut or changed, factory wiring was used.

This morning I went to start my truck and after cycling the glow plugs turned the ignition to start but only got a click. I tried a few more clicks with no luck. My light switch was in the auto position with fog lights off. For some reason I turned the lights off, hit the key, and it started with no problem. Turned it off, turned the switch to park lights, wouldn't start. Turned them to on, wouldn't start. Turned them off again, started.

After work today I was going to show a buddy my issue. Turned the lights to auto, clicked once or twice, then started on my third attempt with auto still on.

I'm stumpped. Is it interference from my hids, or is it a coincidental starter cylinoid or bad connection? Any ideas?
