Now how could that be because the footwell lighting draws power, not creates it so thats not it and the headlights are completely plug and play and thousands of people have used them with no problems. They also charged me $130 to unplug the headlights and footwell lights. I think they were just saying it was the lights not the wiring in the transmission to make me pay for it.
Your wiring may have been drawing current and altering the voltage. This will in fact "freak out" a computer controlled vehicle in certain cases. This could be what they were trying to explain to you.
