Question h.i.d. headlight conversion???

i just installed an hid conversion kit in my 2004 psd. the kit works great and i love it, but when you turn them on the radio shuts off for a second then comes back on. im assuming that this is because of the power needed to fire the bulbs when you turn them on. i was just wondering if this COULD maybe mess the computer up somehow?
