Default Re: Installed HIDs - concerned about wiring

My HIDs are not always coming on....I have not installed relay harnesses yet but now I guess I will have too. My 55 watt HIDs appear to draw 10 or more amps when they try to fire up sometimes. it appears that it is enough to cause the car to somehow shut power down on that circuit (or are the HIDs shutting down due to low amperage??). Have to retry several times sometimes to get all the lights on. I swapped kits around so I know the kits are fine but they appear to be pulling just too much current at startup. Once I can get them up they stay on and it is always the same positions with the issues...right fog and left low beam. So I think I will install 30 amp fuses in the tap for each set of lights.
