[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 866348, member: 11896"] I just installed a similar set of lights as well as the hids for them. I am not really sure why since they draw less then 10 amps at peak but everything I read said that there could be issues with the hids if you do not upgrade the wiring going to the lights with relays to help fix this but I did. I did notice that the 9006 light I put in the high-beam spot came in a 110 watt rather then the typical 55 watt light and that could draw enough current to et your headlight switch hot, which is already known to happen. The halogen light in the high-beam area will draw SIGNIFICANTLY more power then the hids, its just the difference between the lights. AFter I did my install I noticed one night that my high beams were out as well. After a quick diagnosis I figured out that he hrns that came with the headlights had a little play in it and was not making a connection. All I had to do was to push them in harder and they came on and have not had an issue since. If you paid for an install then more then likely the shop would prefer you call them to take a look at it before you start digging around in their work. Do you know if they added relays or just wired everthing to be powered from the stock wiring? [/QUOTE]
