So the relay harness is designed to prevent flickering(anti-flicker),and the warning canceller is for canbus systems(bulb out messages)...and what does a capacitor do?
My relays flicker like crazy when running my DRLs even with the capacitor. I own a 2017 Toyota Rav4 which uses a single 9012 bulb for DRL, low and high beams. Could the capacitor link be damaged? Is there a way to fix it? PS. I bought my elite kit at TheRetrofitSource this week.
elflecha007 must be a Toyota thing. I had a 06 Corolla S with Altis headlights. Popped off the bumper installed everything. Night came I wanted to go for a ride they looked great. Next day, I start it and all I heard was this insane clicking of those relays on/off on/off. I was just thinking what you were thinking. The Corolla’s drl’s run by cutting the voltage in 1/2 during the day. The low beam is the drl and at night goes to full power. It sounds like that capacitor link would eliminate that or cut power wire to the drl module.
I installed a HID kit in my Mitsubishi Lancer that came with regular non HID lights. I am having a problem where often time one HID will not turn on. Sometimes its the right one, sometimes the left one, and on rare occasions both of them wont turn on. Sometimes turning the car off and on will fix the issue. Sometimes the fix is to unplug/plug the ballast connector. Will a relay harness fix my problems? Thanks.
If you're upgrading the ballast, it would be safest to upgrade to the HD relay harness too. Staying at the 35W OEM ballast would not require an HD relay harness.
the passenger side OEM output just plugs into the pair of resistors he didn't show. Kit comes with 4 blue aluminum resistors (You can see them on the floor in the left of the video, he didn't mention them) and the OEM light plug from the car just plugs into that. I know it doesn't make sense, just plugging the other side of the car into resistors that go nowhere.... but the power comes from the long cable from the relay and plugs into the ballasts for the HID light, The ballast output then goes to the lights. Go to the RetrofitSource website and look up the kit. They have a drawing that makes total sense. www.theretrofitsource.com/mopar-2015-spec-H-15RAM?quantity=1
@@RetrofitSource Yeah? Then can you post a link here to a video where you actually install the entire installation and all connections? Also, are there any plugs that are not used in this installation or with igniters in the setup?
TheRetrofitSource Inc I meant my car was OE Halogen. With this ballast it seems that the car's original connectors that go into the passenger side headlight wire would plug into the harness. and do i just tape off the original connectors on the driver's side?

wish they were a little longer, little short since i used it on a 97 yukon

Would have been nice to actually see how the installation was done thanks
Our new videos are all including installation footage, Sorry about that!
I had to buy one of these for my jeep. Do I still need the warning light cancelors that came with the HID kit or does this replace them?
You do not if you installed a relay harness!
I only use morimoto hid kits with the hd relay harness

Sounds like an igniter or relay harness could be the issue!
My BMW E39 540i already has xenon lights. Do I still need the relay harness if I upgrade to Morimoto 50w ballast?
If you're upgrading the ballast, it would be safest to upgrade to the HD relay harness too. Staying at the 35W OEM ballast would not require an HD relay harness.
Where does the OEM output plug into? I had normal headlights before this
Shoot us an email at support@theretrofitsource.com and one of our service reps can help you.
Do I only need ONE of those capacitor links?
can i use this wiring harness for a set of led fog lights?
You sure could!
Hi bro, I just installed relay harness for my LED low beams. Is this advisable? Will my LED bulbs throw more light?
It really depends on the vehicle on if a relay harness is needed or not. However, a relay harness will not make the bulbs brighter.
@@RetrofitSource Thanks much for your reply
You're very welcome!
Soooo, one side of the OEM output from one head light is not used? I’m confused..

Does anyone know what the measurement of the fuse is? 15A, 20A, etc.
20A!
Can someone tell me that song/instrumental at the end?
It's by Lakey Inspired called Island.
It gives me computer error on my E55 AMG ...mine r d2s low beam and h7 high beam ??
H danielle You need can bus.
jeremiahlf i'm already have two moto canbus ... ??
you need warning canceler/anti flicker to delete the dashboard error.
Everyone talks about the relay harness and name their video "installation " but no one has actually posted a video installing it
That why we are here!

Man i tell you this sure looks difficult im a 1st timer with these projector lights
You can do it! We have lots of other video tutorials to help you along the way.
@@RetrofitSource 👌Thanks i will try
Must be that dam tint ....
haha you right!
What do you do with the other headlight signal source? since it no longer goes into the headlight or ballast?
These lights had OE halogen lights, so there were no ballasts/HID bulbs in this case. If you've got OEM HID, this upgrade isn't ideal for you really
