Today I ordered a 20,000k Hid Conversion Kit 9006 for my Silverado. It comes with 2 HID Bulbs, 2 Ballasts with cables, and mounting brackets. I didn't realize that the kit didn't come with a RELAY. Would it hurt if I installed it without the RELAY?

My kit doesnt have a relay. No problems here
20,000k???? what color is that? anyway yeah i just ordered 2 sets for my lows and fogs from ddm...pretty sure they dont come with a relay either but it should be fine
No relay, no problem. Relays only cost about 5 bucks anyway.
i have never had a relay on my setup, 12 or 13 months now. no problems at all
I have not had a relay on my kit for over a year now

Not always. Dodge thought it was a good idea to only supply the headlights with 9V, so you need a relay to get the ballasts the proper voltage. Now, he doesn't have a Dodge, but many people don't like to trust the factory wiring to aftermarket accessories.Quote:

look up the way u wire for high beams then let me know!Quote:

i got u!
Thats why you just hit the parking brake down like 2" before you start the truck. Then when youve got it started just release he brake and they both pop on. Works every time.Quote:

I guess I'm just cheap.Quote:
