> What in the world would you need relays for? HID’s don’t draw anywhere near the amount of current that incandescent lighting draws. You don’t need relays, that’s just extra shit in the circuit to fail.

its not the constant power your worried about its the large surge during the warm up period. Thats why you should draw power directly from the battery. I have a set in my head lights and a set in my fogs and I have relays for both
