Problems after first startup of newly installed HIDs

Hey everyone. I'm having some weird electrical problems that I'm hoping someone has experience with and can help me diagnose or walk me through diagnosing.

I just finished installing a Morimoto Elite HID kit with the big relay harness. I turn the headlight switch to ON, I hear an electrical zap, and all lights turn on. I turn the headlight switch to OFF, all lights turn off. I turn the headlight switch back to ON, another zap, no more HID lights but all other lights are on. I turn the headlight switch back to OFF and all the lights that were on stay on. I flip the headlight switch between ON and OFF a couple more times with no change and no more zapping noises. I remove the negative cable from the battery. The lights turn off. I put the negative cable back on the battery. Lights stay off. I try unlocking the car from my key fob to see if the turn signals will flash. Nothing, car doesn't even mechanically unlock. I get inside the car and try the power lock switches on the door, nothing. I can put the car in accessory mode and the dash lights flicker. Power windows don't work either.

I can still put the car in and out of accessory mode. Didn't try starting the car because of how loud the car is at this time of night.

I think I borked something pretty bad, but really don't know what. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box in the engine bay, and everything looked fine. I unplugged all the additional relay wiring that came with the kit and try the lights and stuff again with no luck. How bad did I ruin the electronics, and can someone help me figure out what I did wrong? Thanks in advance.
