Also (and thanks for your input), what does this mean:
( I.E. : power the relay/lights from FUSED battery B+, trigger the relay with the normal OEM wiring )?
I am no electrical expert. Splicing wires is stretching my electrical capabilities.
Thanks.
Means install a dedicated relay. ( comes with some of the higher-end HID kits )
This relay is powered by a dedicated, fused, heavy gauge wire from the battery's positive terminal, or from one of the terminals in the little box you see directly in front of the battery.
The relay is then triggered by the wire that normally supplies the voltage to run the light, it then supplies the power to the HID using the dedicated power from the battery.
This way, the drain on the normal headlight wiring is almost 0, while all the power for the HID's is coming directly from the battery.
The same thing is sometimes done with a horn relay, when the aftermarket horn you are installing draws more current than the normal horns do.
