Mine do the same thing, but it happens at random RPMs when on the gas and turning on the HIDs.

I've solved the problem by just turning them on at startup. I like to drive with them anyway to help with visibility for SUV drivers.

I've theorized that they cause a voltage drop which freaks the cluster out. Mine just resets with the reset procedure, though.
