HID Relaying question - where are people wiring up to +ve?
fuse box?
+ve jumper terminal?
alternator?
I'm going to slap the harness in this weekend and was wondering what the 'preferred' locations may be. I bought the DDM 55w kit and got their harness with it. Of course I installed the lights a month ago and have had no issues until 2 days ago when the relay behind the kick-panel (opened this up and found no signs of burning/cooking inside) started clicking furiously and the lights (lows only, fogs remained and brights still worked) would go out. Seemed at first that there was a correlation to temperature and they'd fire up in the morning, now not at all. They do run fine as the daytimes, only when I turn the lights on at the stalk does the relay start to go. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Erik

I do hear a 'pop' in the stereo when I flick the switch, no cut-out issues though.
I'd rather not stress the system if I don't have to... besides I bought the harness, but installed the lights on a windy -25C day so the harness was out of the question. Since it hadn't posed any issues until recently I was going to wait a while longer...
thanks for the reply
