Harness required to run HID ballasts?
Sorry to be a bit of a troll and make my first post a simple question but I'd appreciate the help.
Im in the process of ordering a 9003/H4 35w 6000k HID kit for a s14 Zenki. I read that some cars (mostly jap cars) don't have a thick enough gauge of wire to run HID's and so using a HID wiring harness is necessary to prevent them from shutting off or flickering. Do the s14 models have sufficient wiring to avoid having to order the extra wire kit. I know it's only 15 bucks more but money is money. (buying my stuff from ddmtuning.com) |

I've done both. I've run my HIDs on the stock wiring with no relay and never had any issues doing that for over 6 yrs. On my last 2 cars, I've run relays just for shits and giggles. Honestly, wont hurt to run relays.

on my 1st 510 i had to make a harness w/ relays, on my S13 i just decided to hardwire my HID's into the head light harness. I had to do it on my 510 because of the old wires and not enough amps on the system to power up the HID's so i gave it it's own 12v source. After rewiring the 510 6 months ago i decided to change up the headlight relays and re-do 90% of the electrical in the car now the HID's are hardwired as well drawing it from the new headlight relay.
