You need to install a 6 ohm 50 watt resistor on the low beam wire to a good ground on each side. The control module is not sensing enough of a draw and is turning the power off. You can find these on ebay as LED load resistors.

Check you hidspeed.com you probably need their "special harness" for the H13, they also have a trouble shoot page. The special harness eliminates cutting and splicing to add resistors. Do you also have the "lamp out" in the odometer?

I used a 3-4 ohm 100 watt resistor on each side. Works great with no lamp out light. www.mouser.com
