Hey all I got a set of hid bi xenons for my daytona 600  
Im just a little confused it didnt come with the relay  
Theres two ballasts So would that mean I would need two relays  
Or should i not even bother with them if the bulbs fireup fine

You only need one relay for both ballasts. It wires them up together right to the battery. You might not need it though, so try and hook it up without it first. If the Lights don’t ignite try flipping the connections around…don’t worry it won’t hurt them. If they stay on while the engine is running you’re all set, If they ignite but go off once you start the bike up then you’ll need to hook up the relay. It’s super easy.

+1 on flipping the connector (even if it has to be notched, if its a directional/safety plug)

The polarity on my kit needed to be reversed in order to get the bulbs to fire up.
