From: Often imitated, but never duplicated
I had the same problem when I upgraded the bulbs to 6000k and the service dept said it was the aftermaket bulbs that burns out the igniter and the ballaster, also it always starts with the driver side bulb. The service dept wanted to charge me $1200 to change the bulb, ballaster, & igniter but the only thing that saved me was that they where the ones that installed the bulbs, so it was covered under warranty. I think you have to get a voltage regulator to regulate the voltage if you're going to upgrade the bulbs.

Good Luck

Its probably being caused by the aftermarket bulb, the voltage/wattage ratings are never the same as OEM and can cause problems, or its a grounding issue.
