There's nothing typical about your symptoms but neither are HID lamps or 100A alts typical in a 240, so looking for a consensus derived internet solution is probably not expected to be fruitful.

The high-tech approach to solving this would employ a scope and experienced troubleshooter; the low-tech solution is inevitably part swapping, perhaps starting with the alternator and battery.

Meanwhile you could look for a lousy connection opened up by the sudden load using voltage drop (high-tech), or visual inspection (low-tech).
