HIDS

Post by Pretzel59 »

Just installed hids in both my low beam and driving lights . WOW what a difference . I just got them for the high beams as well but I am getting a strobe effect because of the DRL's .
I guess I will need to install a relay ,or am I doomed to run the regular 9005 bulbs ?

To run them you'll need capacitors/warning cancellers.

Keep in mind you'll effectively be running highs beams at full strength for your DRL
