Default Re: HID light issue - Help

From my experiences installing a vast amount of HID kits in vehicles of all different brands is that you need a relay kit. Without the kit the power is drawn from the small factory wiring to fire the capsules (bulbs) which requires a large spike of power. Relay kits allow that power to be pulled directly from the electrical system through thicker wiring and a relay.


Most kits will work out of the gate just fine without a relay kit but for long term reliability the relay kit is the best route. Although most kits will still eventually have issues. After retrofitting HID's in my vehicles since they first hit the consumer market, I eventually ditched them in my H2 and went with full LED headlights. I was tired of messing with them.


However, I think a relay kit will solve your issues.
