HID Conversion - Relay or Not

cgreen · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2010 10:24 pm

I'm in the middle of converting my fogs to HID. How many of you used a separate relay to draw power directly from the battery and how many are drawing power through the factory light harness? Anyone have issues either way? Thanks.

Do you have any strange humming noises emitting from the kit? (Don't suppose you have a link to it do you?)

i would use a relay if i were you. when i first got mine i didnt have one and sometimes only one light would turn on. now that i have a relay i never have a problem. but i do have a 55w kit not a 35w so that could be why

i have ddm tuning kits. the fogs are 35 watt. only an initial buzz from the balast upon ignition of the lights then its quiet

good to know the ddm kits are being used on here.. Such a nice kit for so cheap.. had them on my srt-4. going to get HIDs for the fogs and headlights on the liberty.

what fogs do we get when ordering HIDs?

luigi, how long have you had your HIDS? any issues?

To the guys with DDM kits - does anyone have an install thread? I've not seen them until today. darn they are cheap aren't they?

Only thing about their site is, it doesn't seem to be an "all inclusive kit". What do I need to purchase to install?

Thanks for the help guys.

i didnt order the harness at first and had some troubles with one not turning on but once i got the harness all is well. and you wont need an install thread once you see the kit. its kinda self explanatory once you see it

Thanks Timmy - judging by the 3000k - that's for your fogs (or for mine - if you did that for me),

Order for the mains:
6000k
55w
H13 hi/lo
+ Harness

What are the error eliminators and adaptors?
