Apparently I'm a little slow... I read the sticky's on this site about the HIDs.. and nobody really explained the point of a slim ballast or a relay harness... I don't remember which it was but one converts DC to AC power... BUT why do I need either one for the kit I guess is the answer that I'm looking for.. If someone could dumb it down for me that'd be GREAT!!!

I plan on buying them from BUYHID.com headlights(H1)/foglights(H11) 6000K

Thanks..

 

slim ballasts are smaller for easier concealment and the relay is so that the bixenon part of the hid work so you have low and high beam. someone correct me if im wrong

 

Slim ballast are 1/3 of the thickness of the regular ballast so they are easier to fit into smaller places
Relay Harnesses provide the ballast with a direct 12V power rather then pulling power from the headlight wires themselves, they also help protect the stock wiring, not necessary to hook up HIDs but HIGHLY recommended

 

would i still need the relay if I have a separate set of brights.. I have the GEN3 headlights

 

one relay harness per HID kit

 

Anyone have any issues fitting the regular ballasts in a balt?

 

Since its a direct power source thats an easier start up on the engine right?? (day time running lights >:l )

 

no
i have 2 ballast under each headlight bracket
tight fit but it works

 

good question.. and wheres a good spot for them??

 

no,
that's where the relay comes in and turns them on when you headlights turn on

and you have to pull ur DRL fuse when you install HIDs

 

Under the headlight bracket

BUY HID's Installation

 

your kidding me that's all i gotta do to get that to stop?? do you know which it is??

and thanks for that link

 

not off the top of my head
its in the installation guides tho

 

Alright thanks!
