I know many people on this board run HID fogs, and most simply use the factory wiring. A relay harness is highly recommended since the initial power draw of an HID kit is 2-3x of a normal halogen bulb and *could* eventually harm the factory wiring. I made a relay kit myself consisting of a 30A SPDT relay, and 16 gauge wiring. It took care of my flickering upon startup and the humming of the ballast, not to mention a piece of mind. So would anyone be interested if I made more of these for sale? There are aftermarket relay harnesses for sale on various websites,but I have yet to find a H3 one. The kit I can make will be measured off a 5th gen, but I am sure will work with 4th and 6th gens too.

However, I calculated the parts price and time involved, and the kit will prob be $50 including everything ready to go out of the box, all fuses, connectors...etc.

So anyone interested?

 

HID Systems DO NOT use more current (amps) then conventional lighting systems. In fact they use about 1/3 less.
The initial turn on is a voltage arch, not a large current draw.
A harness and/or larger fuses are a complete waste of $$ and time, it's simply not needed.

 

hmmmm....subscribing

 

It is commonly known that an HID kit will run at 35W AFTER initial power up.

But no point in arguing with you, if you have an HID fog kit and don't feel the need to have a relay then I'm certainly not going to try to convince you.
