Relay Harnesses
A wire harness is necessary to adapt your factory harness to work
with your newly retrofitted HID headlights. Generally speaking you can't
just plug the ballasts into where the halogen bulbs went before and
expect them to work reliably or even at all. A harness works this way:
Your factory socket that originally connected to the halogen bulb now
switches on a relay. The relay is a switch that draws power from the car
battery and sends it out to the ballasts. It's pretty simple, but this
tends to be the part that confuses and deters people from doing a
retrofit. In the end, the harness will allow the HID retrofit (Bi-xenon
or low beam only) to operate just like stock. Read more about Wire Harnesses at TRS Tech.
