ABS freaks out when low beams on

Burning oil like a boss
I am having a reoccurring problem with my ABS. Or my lights, I'm not sure.

Basically, I can drive wherever, however, with my lights off or parking lights on and my ABS works fine. Nothing unusual. Soon as I turn my low beams on, BAM! ABS light. Most of the time it doesn't stay on long enough to pull a code; as soon as I turn the car off it's gone. The one time it did stay on for a day or two, it popped a code for the LR wheel speed sensor. Cleared it, stayed away until that night, when lights came on, and the ABS light followed.

My question is this: Does the ABS system do a self-check when you turn on your low beams (that sounds real dumb, but maybe...idk?) Or could it be some form of interference between the two? I should note that I had HID's in my lows, but switching to halogens made no difference. Or should I just try changing the sensor and see what happens?

Uniqueness defines
the abs system does its "system check" when you start the car, then its just passive. as ^^^ said, its in the same bunch. get a friend to jiggle it around, see what happens. let us know
