Default HID Relay

While buying the HID kit for my vehicle do you guys happen to know if I should purchase the relay kit for it as well?

the ballasts draw more current then the factory wiring is rated for. alot of people have no problems others have ballasts go bad or wiring issues. id run the relay kit. or make my own.

Just so you know, HID's are now ILLEGAL when you go for your inspection.

They are only legal in cars that were built with them.

The registry is getting many complaints about all the asshole's that don't align them correctly and cause glare.

We are supposed to FAIL ALL cars that have HID"s not installed from the factory!

Thank the ricer's for this shit now!
