i just bought 12k hid's and the housing plus the ballist do yall think i need a relay i have ben told no because hid's draw less power then i have also ben told yes so what do ya think. thanks braeden

 

Do the relays for sure......

Just did 6k's on my dad's 05 and the relays made a big difference over plug n' play.

especially on a 1st gen, do the relays.

12k ?? thats crazy, you're gonna have a purple light down on the road.

 

ya i know i have other bulbs on the way to like 4k's for every day driving the 12k's are just for show

 

Pics!

 

12ks are blue btw the purple ones are 30k

 

ya derik is right the 12k's came out blue the purple ones are the 30k

 

If you are talking about true HID's then no relays will be needed. You can do it if you want, but they make their own power and draw very little. If you are talking about filament(spelling?) bulbs then you'll be wise to install relays. What watt's are they?

 

The way I understand the HID's is they dont have much draw when they are on but the start up is the problem. They draw a lot more amps when they are first turned on.

The wires on the lights are not worth much, I would rewire the lights and do the relays, even if its just to take the load off the switch. If you have looked at the ground wire on the headlight socket then you know what I mean.

I love the HID's in my car but it is factory with the projectors so the light goes where it is supose to, I am interested in how these lights work out for our trucks and if the light scatters to much and blinds people.

 

I hate those lights. Esspecially since no one seems to aim them correctly. If they are blue light they are ILLEGAL and for Emergency responder/LE use only.

 

The 6k's i got my dad are perfect, White.

Once you start to get over 6k, the worse light output you get.
