Help Installing Helios HID kit

Hey

i could not find anything relevent to what im about to ask

I received my HID kit, The relay that i recieved has 4 connectors on it......One for the First Ballast, the Second for the Second Ballast, the third for the Power where i attatch to the battery terminal, hot side of course. And the last plug is a red plug that i cant seem to plug into anything except the actual H4 harness adapter that came with the kit. Now my only other issue is that this relay DOES NOT HAVE A 5TH adapter for the 2nd H4 harness adapter...

could any one give me some insight please....ill post pics if need be

thanks

A relay one needs one H4 plug for the signal to turn on.

so basically that one connector that is on the actual relay IS ONLY NEEDED?.........meaning that other H4 harness adapter does not need to connect to anything else but the ballast?

yes.. it's a relay, so it only needs to catch the signal from one side of your headlights
wouldn't it be a waste of parts to run two relays? duh.
and it's not like your stock headlamp harness is gonna burn out through it, because you are, in fact, running it through a relay, which keeps all that current draw out.

yea i know its not gonna burn out, but that answers my question about the relay. The reason i asked is because on many of the diagrams on the NET, they all had Two relays or had two connectors. But hey, better safe than sorry


AND MY LAST QUESTION is.........WILL I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR CARS "AUTO" headlight feature? You know where the lights cut on or off depending on the ambient light. Seeing as how the Relay has a direct connection to the Battery

thanks
