got a 6k kit from a local place and its plug and play do i need to wire outside power into the harness somehow seems like the stock wiring will not be able to provide the power i think it needs the 6ks dont honestly look blue or any brighter...could that be due to lack of power???

nope it is a plug and play kit....and it was the wrong pinout went back and they got me a different adapter...they look spectacular now and the ballasts do not get hot at all the kit is by brightstar rechnology...BSTW-HID Professional manufacturer got it for 50 bucks....
You still need a relay harness so you aren't drawing 40,000 volts from your stock wiring. All HID kits are plug and play, but if they just plug into the headlight socket, then you're asking for trouble as far as the MFS goes. You want to draw the power from the battery to ignite the ballasts.

the wiring doesnt even get remotely hot at all....its a pretty nice kit actually guy who runs the shop got them in a bulk deal from a place that went out of buisness.....i just dont see the issue plus i only drive a mile to and from work.....
I can explain the safety of it until I'm blue in the face, but if you didn't install a relay harness then you will inevitably end up with multifunction switch issues along the way. I'm sure the kit is nice and great and all that but without a relay harness the kit is damaging your wiring on fire up...which happens as soon as you turn them on. That's when it demands 40,000 volts or more (usually 20k per ballast) to ignite.
You can run them however you choose, but others will tell you that running them without a relay harness is playing with fire...sometimes literally.

I agree with LilSparkPlug, buy a relay harness because it's cheap insurance and it is the correct way to do it. No point in possibly burning your switch up because you didn't want to spend $20-30.
its not that i dont mind i can wire up a relay by myself....i dont need to buy a harness i have relays here lying around i just didnt see the point it says on the box 100% digital low heat no relays or rewiring needed....but ill do it if that many people are against it...ill even repin out my pdc do i need 2 separate relays or just one ? and what guage wire is reccomended....
