    I got the 35 watt kit from them and I went with the relay harness. For the price it's better to be safe rather than sorry. Their harness is a little short for our cars though, I would recommend getting a longer one from another company maybe.

      Most definitely, can't hurt at all using a relay. Nothing sucks more than replacing all of your wiring due to them getting roasted.

          I get my harnesses from www.3bspecialties.com, and I'm very happy with their product, and their price. Only $15 last I checked. They were very good with customer service, too. Nice guys.

          I would ALWAYS run an auxiliary harness with HIDs. I'm told the newer systems don't draw power like the old ones do (like my old OEM BMW setup...), but as mike said, better safe than sorry. $15 and a 5 minute hookup is a LOT better than replacing an entire OEM wire harness!

            Yea I had issues with overloading the stock headlight circuits when turning on my HID's. Built and installed a relay harness in a couple hours, the HID's function flawlessly now. Definably a good idea. I am running the 35w DDM as well.

                The said relay comes with an in-line fuse. I blew said fuse the other day. Had I not had that relay/fuse, there's no telling what would've happened. OEM wiring is ok but after 20 years or so, it tends to not be at it's best.

                  Exactly. The chances of damage may be slim, but the hassle and potential expense of that damage SERIOUSLY outweighs the cost and effort of installing a simple $15 auxiliary harness. It will function exactly the same, though you'll have one more harness to hide (or not... I don't care about that in my car...)

                    Okay, im for sure getting a harness then. The little extra cash seems to be well worth it. Thanks everyone!
