Default HID light "strobing" while the car is turned off?

driver side HID on my 01 S2K is strobing even without the key in the ignition. The only way to get it to stop is to use the battery kill switch on my bumper. The light works fine when i turn the lights on.

I've swapped bulbs, and ballast and have tried a better ground.

Without a bulb in the ballast, the connector will arch with electricity and make a popping sound. Plug the light in and the light looks like a strobe light blinking non stop. I'm pretty much out of ideas except for a down stream electrical issue.


Any ideas?
