Idk about you guys, but I wired in a relay/delay, so when I turn on the key, it delays 8 seconds before turning the bulbs on. Good for starting the bike when the HIDs flicker. Lets the bulb last a little longer. but you have the lifetime warranty, I wish they offered that where I bought from. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > yup… is it 100% plug and play or do i need to be able to get to the battery/ strip wires/ Nope, mount the ballasts, plug bulbs to ballasts, factory wiring to ballasts. Very simple. Your going to take the most time finding a spot to hide all the wires ---

everything is plug and play, you only need to hook up to a battery if you have a bixenon bulb that you need to hook a relay up to. I didn’t need a relay when i did mine but then again i only wanted the 35w ballast, the 55 watt ballast might need to up your fuse from 10 to 15, because at start up it draws more power. ---

YAY… i seriously cant wait… ive been amped about this for a week. No big deal with the fuse, im just very limited on tools here, as I havennt unpacked them yet. ---
