DO I NEED A RELAY HARNESS? HARNESS INSTALL

For sure cars, adding a HID conversion kit with a relay harness is advantageous. Sometimes, the relay harness will pull power directly from the battery, bypassing the factory wiring if your car has a low voltage, DRL, or CANBUS problem. Another innovative method to shorten the time it takes for your bulbs to warm up is to use a relay harness when installing your HID.

The primary purpose of an automotive headlight wire harness is to supply the lighting system with power straight from the car's battery. This can give the bulb, or HID ballast, a more reliable power source and enable it to function independently of the car's original wiring system.

In order to get around complex electronic control systems or to enable a higher rate of current delivery to the bulbs, aftermarket HID conversion kits most frequently use lighting relay harnesses to circumvent the original wiring. A 30 amp fuse-protected power cable that is connected straight to the battery's positive terminal is used by a relay wiring harness. A signal from a source (the headlight connector) is pulled by an automotive relay, which then causes electricity to be taken from the battery. An HID ballast is intended to be powered by two sets of cables. To finish the electrical circuit, two additional ground wire terminals must be connected to the chassis.

Although it is most frequently used in aftermarket xenon retrofits, as mentioned earlier, this device can also be helpful when attempting to maximize the light output of OEM or aftermarket halogen/incandescent light bulbs. Increased wiring current capability is advantageous for any lighting system. GTR Lighting offers Plug-and-Play Relay Wire harnesses for H7, H8, H9, H10, H11, H13, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, and more.

A wiring harness fixes what?

A relay wire harness can resolve numerous power-related problems with HID lighting, such as flickering, delayed start, uneven brightness, intermittent on/off, and low light output.

Some automobiles require a HID wiring harness for a successful HID installation, while others use it as a safety and assurance measure to avoid future issues. It is generally advised to utilize a harness wherever feasible in order to increase the output of your halogen light bulbs, prolong the life of your HID system, or prevent needless headaches. With the inline fuse that isolates the systems, you are safeguarding both your car and your HID system in addition to giving your HID ballasts enough power.
