I appreciate the help, by no means am I trying to start a fight, lol!

So let me get this straight... I only need one capacitor if I was using a relay and wiring harness off the battery... Or would I only need one capacitor having everything wired up as I have it now without the relay?

 

Didn't mean to come off rude if I did. There's no fight.

The way you got things now you woul need 2 caps. The relay harness would take 1 relay and 1 capacitor.

But like I said IMO they way you want it isn't recommended. Also if you have fogs you will not be able to use them with your Xenons being on the high beam.

 

Fair enough, you are convincing me to go the relay harness route... I haven't upgraded the fog lights yet so they are utterly useless, but I wil eventually get LEDs installed there.

The one light out when I hook up both capacitors is evidence enough to me that there aren't enough amps to light up the HIDs once you explained it thoroughly.

One last question - The capacitors I ordered have a fuse built in, they are the ones pictured here:

HID Canada - HIDC-C3 Canceller [ECHIDCC3] - $45.00 : HID Canada, Illuminating Your World

Would that make it safe to use with a stock wiring harness, since the fuse would blow before shorting out the OEM wiring harness itself, assuming I've installed a bigger battery..?

If not, I guess I'll just have to make an ugly install even uglier. Don't really want an electrical fire.


What about kits like this that claim they are canadian DRL compatible:

Do they ramp up the amps on startup so that it doesn't overload the OEM wiring harness, or is it just another "Magical claim"?
