Ok I was researching and found this product from another post:

http://shop.3bspecialties.com/product.sc?categoryId=10&productId=23

I guess it's supposed to put less strain on the OEM wiring harness.
Now, is it worth getting it?
Is there a better place to buy?
Would I need one for the headlights and one for the fogs also?
Or do I need them at all?

Thanks, and sorry about another HID question/thread.

Ebay has those for sale for a lot cheaper. I'll try and find one for you. I don't use for for the headlights, just for the fogs, but that's just because I'm cheap and lazy.

Are you going to do HID heads and fogs?

yeah, I would only do it for the Fogs but you really don't need to.

STOCK HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS = 55w
STOCK HALOGEN FOGLIGHTS = 27w (I believe)

HID (fogs or headlights) = 35w.

OEM Fogs=33
HID=35

Use them for ALL HID setups, unless you like messing around with them a second or third time

Well if stock ones are 33w then all the LESS reason you would need an HID harness.

For $15, its a good assurance that you won't have any problems.

edit: you probably don't need a bi-xenon harness.

Thanks!

One level up from your link: http://shop.3bspecialties.com/category.sc;jsessionid=AE0368401D53F7E2DC6E7D8816696C9B.qscstrfrnt03?categoryId=10

Either the plug-and-play harness or the relay wiring harness are $15. You only need the bi-xenon harness if you're using a bi-xenon kit.

2 Questions. Do the relays just plug right into the OEM wiring harness? Will those relays work with any HID kit? Thanks for the link man.

P.S. I'm doing Bi-Xenon on heads and Single with fogs. So I will need one for each correct?

Ebay is your friend.

Yes, those harnesses have the adapters already, so you can just plug them in to your stock harness, which connects to the relay. They will work with any kit (all kits are the same).

Yes, you will need one bi-xenon kit, and one single kit.

I used the relay wiring harness. Stock connector controls the relay, power comes directly from the battery. So, current draw through the stock harness is minimal, ballasts pull current directly from the battery instead.

Is there any reason you're gonna dish out the cash for a bi-xenon's? I have a single beam kit in the heads and fogs, and its really really bright already. I would never use the high-beams.

I dunno really, I do live out in the sticks/country. Actually, I just got them in like 10 minutes ago but it is COLD as hell out. I went outside for like 10 mins., looked at it and said f*** this i'm going back inside. lol

The bi-xenon looks all complicated (more wiring). I'm not big into the electrical parts on stuff, it kinda looks straight forward but now I gotta order those other harnesses.
