Question about HID lights?

Are you guys just plugging the kits up or are you using relays. Seems I read somewhere that some have had interference happen with the gauges from the ballasts with the HID's. I ordered two kits from DDS so just trying how to do it right!
 
I had them in my 08 with no relays and no problems too. If i remember correctly ( which is a big if) it was the genI peeps that needed the relay. :dunno:

Like Boo said... mount the ballasts as far away from the gauges as you can to prevent the interference issues. It only has to be a few inches away to prevent it. I had mine mounted under the right hand dash panel.
 
NO relays here, no issues with the gauges. (genII)
I do push the starter button in and then pull the clutch lever in when starting the bike to prevent the current draw.
 
OK guys this is a Gen I . I'm going to mount the box's away from gauges and cross my fingers. Tks for feedback.

Worst thing that can happen is you have a small problem and require a relay.
If not you save a few bucks by trying without it first.

Are you talking about a relay or delay? I do not have a realy hooked up to mine and I have not issues.. I DO have a DELAY hooked up. The delay was so that the light would not draw too much power on start. Some say it did some say it didn't. I have mine set at 20 secs. So after my bike is on and running for 20 sec, my hid pop on.

BTW I have a Gen 1
 
I bought an actual relay and harness for HIDs.There is a shop that does installs here and they recommended this and I havent had any issues.Supplies constant 12 volts to the ballast for low beam.I mounted mine to the left ram air tube right under the dash panel cover.Used heavy duty velcro
