installing hids...need help
i have the ddm 55w high and low hids. I have both low beams connected right to the bikes harness WITHOUT using a relay and both lights fire right up each and everytime i start the bike, no flickering and stay on
Im trying to use a relay but the right side headlight is giving me issues when using the relay. Left side fires up right away and stays on while using the relay. The right side does one of 2 things. Starts right up but goes out within 2 seconds or doesnt come on at all.
What gives? Bad relay?
I swapped the wires from the relay from left to right and the other side is giving me problems. Starting up but dying or not coming on at all
I tried the second relay i had and its doing the same thing. I guess im going with NO relays for this kit 
Im thinking the relay may have to be rewired but i have no idea where to start

Did you try swapping the neg and pos wires... Apparently KHI weren't too picky about which wire went to + or - because with the stock headlights it doesn't matter which wire is which. I've read of numerous instances where people hooked up their hids had problems, then simply switched the negative and positive and they worked fine.

Don't need a relay. Direcy wire wiring works perfectly!
