I have HIDS in my low beams also, but I haven't experienced any problems with them. The only time that mine has ever pulled in one direction is after I bent one of my tie rods (which are really weak), and it pulled a little bit till I got it back in alignment with the new ones but after that I haven't had any problems. The HIDS shouldn't have any effect on the power steering tho, I have them in the headlights and fog lights in my truck and they do have a tendency to mess with the FM radio, but that's just due to frequency they run on. Sounds like your dealer hasn't had any experience with HIDS before.

Welcome to the forum. People run stereos, hand and thumb warmers, light bars and all kinds of accessories, kind of hard to believe a set of HIDs could screw up the PS. Never heard of a bulletin on not installing HIDs yet but I can find out tomorrow.

Do a quick search on the internet. All sorts of problems with HID lights on ATV's & vehicles. The HID's require a lot of power.
