I don't know but I would try disconnecting the power to the HID kit and then try a jump start.Check the HID ground wires.
I installed the same kit last saturday with no problems.

Check your battery connections also, maybe the terminal is loose since you had to disconnect it to attach the relay.

maybe try to disconnect the batter and let it sit and reset? if that doesnt work unhook the HID and connect the batter to see if it starts. my car did this also when i installed the XM...i had to undo everything and do it again then it worked??? sounds similar to what i had to do. hope that works like it did for me.

DAmn, maybe the battery connector lose or the Intake sensor connector lose.. Try to look careful around the engine bay and see something lose..
