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.

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.

You only need one relay harness. It plugs into one side of the headlights. It's not just us two, lots of people will agree. Its safe assurance.
