Default Halogen to xenon headlight swap

Hy guys. I try to find a solution to my problem but I'm stuck, maybe someone can give me one. I've damaged my halogen headlight and I've bought a pair of xenon headlight widouth knowing that there are so much differences between them. I've fit one of then by adapting the plug from halogen with the one with xenon following the diagram and everything work perfectly with a slice problem the low beam from xenon headlight work only with the ignition on and engine stop. If I start the car it start flashing and go off. Can someone tell me what should I do to make the low beam from xenon headlight work even after I start the engine? Thank you

You're not going to get it to work without modules being added and some coding. There is no way around it unless you hard wire it to the battery with inline fuse and put a switch in the car.
