Default 2011 GS350 Aftermarket HID oveheating?

Hey Guys,

I had my 2011 GS350 for about 11 months now. I had replaced factory HID with aftermarket HID. Passenger side was coming on and off. According to the dealer, my aftermarket HID was overheating, and it damaged the computer (ECU) system that controls the whole headlight system. The dealer is charging me $600 to fix it. My driver side (also aftermarket HID) is working fine. Did anyone else experience this? Need your advice. Thanks!!

For clarification, what exactly was changed? If you have OEM HID, then you just changed bulbs?
