Do you guys build relay harnesses when you do a retrofit?

Or do you just wire the ballasts to the connectors for the OEM stuff?

people at hidplanet usually use a relay harness for their retros. i think a member also makes them. you might want to check out hidplanet

have not done my but im a firm believer in ones with Hid's.. i feel that with all the jump from power to fuses , switches relays, you lose some power before it get to the lights. with the relay's you bypass all the jump and run power direct from the source

I know how to make them and I know why they're useful, I was just being lazy and wondering if anyone had good results without doing the harness.

The voltage drop can't be that significant afterall.

i tried to create an account twice and they still havent sent me an activation code. i emailed them and they did not respond..... so hidplanet is not an option for me, it seems

No it won't say lexus or toyota. Search for 9005 HID relay harness.

9005/6 is the factory plug for the old headlights.
The connectors that go to your Ballasts/ignitors are universal so the mates are already on the harness too.

The other connections go straight to the battery and bam. done deal.
