so i need a relay.....

[quadracer960]

So i bought some hid's, 6000k, and i installed them to find out that i need a relay for them because all the do is flicker... so my question is do i need to order it off the internet or would an auto parts so like autozone or advanced have a relay kit? Thanks

I think you might have to order it offline i could be wrong? But the same problem happened to me thought i needed a relay come to find out one of my ballasts was defective.....

if youre crafty and know how to spec out the right relay then youll easily be able to find one locally for way cheaper than you'd buy a relay harness online. however, if youre not electrically smart then go ahead and buy a relay harness online somewhere.

$5 for a "Fog light relay" at your local parts store.

i mean i no how to wire it up, i just want the right thing and wires not everywhere. i get what its for and everything and the relay by itself was like 6 bucks, the harness in like $15. i went to autozone and they dont have it....

i got my relay for like 10 bucks off ebay..

yep, just ordered mine off there too, $15 with priority shipping. hopefully when my fog hid's come in, they were on back order, they'll wont need a relay.....

If you want to get rid of the flicker, Just put in a 4700 uf 35 volt or even 50 volt capacitor right on the factory connector to the hid ballast plug. You only need 1. I put it on my 07 GXP the other night and flicker is gone completely. You retain the DRL, auto lights.
