Xenon Retrofit - Low Beam Failure (V50T5 - 2005) V50 2005

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the lighting system of the V50? I installed a Xenon light kit for the low beams with separate fused power feed and relay switched from the factory lights. Basically the relay is powered throught the factory light plug which closes contacts through the relay bringing power to the ballast and HID. After the installation, the I got a low beam failure message in the message center and the lights went off. There was a buzzing in the dash but I could not locate it. I checked under the glove box but there is only a fuse tray, nothing under the drivers side that I could see.

Without starting the car, the lights come on and stay on. Only when the car is started do the low beam light go out and the buzzing starts. The relay pulls less amps than the factory halogen lamp and I think that is why the computer things that the light is burn't (failed). Any help with fixing this problem is appreciated.

Thanks!
