HID tip/advice
So I got one of those plug and play HID kits. Well, it did plug right in and seemed to work fine, no flickering, no flashing, no problems. Wanting a whiter light output, I went with the 6K lights, but at times the lights looked a bit more blue, closer to an 8k kit. I then noticed that when the car was off, the lights were whiter, but when the car was running, they were more blue. This is due to a loss in power to the headlight system when the engine is running, but like I mentioned before, there was no flicking at all, just a different hue/color. So I added a relay and problem solved. Now I get the same color no matter what and I feel it is safer to have a relay on.
Bottom line, check your HID's color, with engine off and then running. If you see a difference, you will need to add a relay, just like I did.

I bought an HID kit from HIDextra and the sent me capacitors for mine. At first they sent me the relay harness but that was wrong. So they said that I needed the capacitors for them to work properly. I have the 6000K bulbs and they are bright as hell. No problems on or offn and they are the same color either way. I also have the 6000K for the fog lights too.
