Random Low Idle

Well the other day I installed my HIDs. So I undid the negative (-) side of the terminal of the battery. I finshed up and my lights worked, etc. But upon startup and warm up, I noticed that my truck isnt idling at the normal 800 rpm but like 640...then 720....then down to 670....then up to 705...like jumping around. Then I kick on the A/C to see what happens and it drops as low as 530! It sounds as if its going to stall. When I drive around and go back to idle, it will sometimes stay at 800, I drive some more and go to idle, this time it acts up again. Its totally random and the only thing I did to it was unplug the negative terminal. How could this mess up my idle? I think I might replace the plugs and wires next week.
