With the MK5's, you need to use a VAG-COM to recode the controller for Bi-Xenon without shutter. Otherwise, the car is going to cut power once it see's a huge draw on that circuit (which is what is happening from the HID kit that you installed). We just had an 05 Passat in our shop yesterday with the very same problem. All it is is a simple VAG-COM recoding. I'd be happy to take care of it for ya. Shoot me a PM or phone call. 610-757-4649.
