Car wont start, need help!

ok, this has been happening for a while now so if anyone knows whats wrong please help.

Whenever i leave my HID's on for about 10 min (without car running), and then I goto start the car, the car wont start. The funny thing is that the battery is still green (meaning still fully charged), I can still bump my system and everything, but it just wont start. This only happens when I have my hid's on for more than 10 min, otherwise its fine. Does anyone know whats wrong?

that's not a solution to the problem. I wanna know how to fix it cause it just recently started.

keeping the car running isn't a solution either. When I do that, there's so much heat created that it's difficult to build the lights.

I know you guys are trying to help, but these arn't fixing the problem. Things like keeping the car running or not doing it is more like putting a band aid over the problem. There's definitely a problem somewhere sine this didn't use to happen as quickly. I wanna find out where that problem is.

Have you tried replacing the battery, or taking it to a garage that specializes in electrical problems?
