We could only conclude that it was a safety feature. However, mine didn't do that when the driver side ballast went out. And our cars are both '03 models. It's weird. The only difference is that mine is a Type-S and his is a Premium.

its not the bulbs or the ballasts, both have been switched side to side.
the saga continues... they replaced the headlight switch and another switch block now my headlights are fine, and they were fine before i brought it to them, it would just blow the 15 amp fuse under the hood under the small light heading.
now that they replaced both switches my vanity lights work but my dash illumination lights still don't work.
they are still playing off the fact that the headunit is the problem, which i doubt cause it still works fine and the illumination feature dims it when the lights are turned on.
so we will see what happens. any other ideas would be awesome.

its weird as hell cause i couldn't get the headlights to work right at all when it first happened, then i got every thing to work except the interior dash lights and vanity lights.
now every thing is working except the dash lights.
