I got the relay and the HIDs, but honestly I dont see the point of the relay, the HIDs work the same with and without the relay ... they dont flicker and they dont turn on when the car is running ... the only way to keep them on is to keep the lights on at all time (I have read about this, this is not my question) So my question to you guys is should I use the relay ? does it do anything? because from my perspective it doesn't do crap, i dunno, maybe im not connecting it the right way ... anyways here are the pics of the relay Please suggest something (IMG:http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq173/russkii_/1005091918.jpg) (IMG:http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq173/russkii_/1005091919a.jpg) (IMG:http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq173/russkii_/1005091919b.jpg)

I recently bought a HID kit from V-leds and a capacitor relay and everything works perfect. My DRLs still work too.
