FORD-F-150-XTR-Newb

HELP! ok I just installed HID lights on my 2011 and they worked great and looked great. But now the raido info center says SYS OFF TO SAVE BATT witch means I can't have the raido on when key is in the accessory position. I did take the battery - negative terminal off to install the kits.
I ended up removing the kits about 2 hrs later in hopes of fixing the problem but nothing. I know the HID's will void warranty so Ford will not cover it. Any ideas on how to fix the SYS OFF TO SAVE BATT PROBLEM I HAVE

Hids have nothing to do with that, its a feature built into the truck to keep from running the battery down

Never had that problem, have had the radio on with lights on and motor not running several times and never received that message.

Then why is it on right after I installed the HID? The manual said it will clear it once the truck has been started and had time to charge the system. I drove the truck for about 80km about 1hr of driving. And still nothing

After a certain amount of time the truck will do that...probably about 30 min...my truck does the same thing...nothing is wrong..its a battery saving feature.

Ok but the truck only has 2000km on it and it won't reset I have started and ran the truck for a long time and won't remove that feature

Pull the negative terminal off for 10 min and see what happens

Kinda weird, I say put it on a battery charger for a couple hours. Is the little round bubble on the battery green or red?

The bubble is Green. The truck starts perfect, I just don't know what to say to the dealership cause the hid will void warranty.
