Adding an extra battery gives you extra reserve, adding a cap simply allows the cap to take the hard hits and surges rather than your altenator or battery seeing them. all of the higher end hid kits that we ever did at my shop pulled a lil more current than some of the cheaper kits that some people buy, but thats besides the point. wiring straight into the headlight harness still isnt the most steady current flow you can get, ballast arent the most steady of devices in the current that they pull. as everyone has seen in our cars any flicker or irregularity in voltage or current on any circuit in our cars will most definatley throw some kind of light. thats all the post was ever meant to explain. if you are gonna do it, do it right with a set of relays.i did my time as well in 12volt since i was young. got to hang out with RIchard Clark and David Navone on many occasions at many events. but that was all back in the day when you were top dog if you had a Denon deck modified with 4v out on the low levels, dual ALesis eq's converted to 12v power, image dynamics carbon compression horns and all that other good jazz. Not here to stir the crap, just to chitchat and maybe help someone out if they need it. :headbang:</blockquote>
