With the relay kit installed, are you able to turn lights on and off? or do they stay on all the time since connected directly to battery?

The kit plugs into your regular headlight wiring. By whatever means your headlights normally turn on (automatically or manually by YOU), this send electricity to the relay which then turns on the HID lights.

They work as normal. The relay harness just gives you the extra power your HID kit needs to power on correctly. You still can use your light switch to control them, whether to turn your lights off or on.

They turn on and off, it has a plug that hooks up to headlight plug that's controlled by your headlight switch so they cut on and off with switch like if its factory. Relay kit is to get the proper 12 volts to headlights

I installed relay on my 2014 Silverado because of the flickering, took care of the problem and, well on my truck the lights turn on when truck turns on but you could still turn them off manually. Well at least on my truck I wouldn't know if other

Good question (if you're not familiar with HIDs); yes you can turn them on/off like normal lights while using the relay. They only draw power from the battery when the relay receives power from the headlight switch (provided you have it hooked up correctly). Other than that no current is flowing through the relay which will not draw power from the battery.

There is a plug for ONE of your stock headlight connectors. This serves power to the entire harness. From there, you use your headlight switch as normal. There is a video on youtube that explains the H4 harness operation.

If you're not worried about the "safety" aspect, I've plugged mine into the same kind of timer I use for the lights when I'm on vacation. However, mine is really old, so I don't know if the electronic timer ones will go on for a pre-specified time at a pre-specified setting or if you have to set that info at the moment you power it on.

Maybe you need a wire relay harness, I couldn't get mine to work first few days. Make sure all your wiring is correct. I had mine wired wrong first few days, it finally worked after tinkering with it for days. I've had them installed for months and they are awesome. Good luck, try contacting seller, he helped me a lot.

You can hook it directly up to your wiring. No relay necessary. I use these for bow fishing and hook quite a few of them directly to the battery.

I have these lights and they are awesome. I haven't had any issues but I did not use the relay. Power source, switch, lights. It has worked like that all summer and I have two of them hooked up to the same switch. I did use a 30 amp toggle switch.

How do you have them wired. Are they on constantly or they're tied in with your blinkers and when they go to flash they stay constant. It depends how you have them set up. If they're on constantly while the bike is on like a running light they're not wired for what you would like them to do.

The only way the light will turn off is by manually pressing the button. I had mine plugged into the car power plug rather than connecting it straight to the battery so it turns on only once the key is turned rather than when the inner lights turn on.

My red light eventually goes off. I have not had any issues. I typically charge the battery for a couple hours - less may work. Not sure.

Wire them directly from the battery with a 2 way switch. They are very low amperage so a relay is not necessary.

Dave, you would need to get the 9007 LED Kit. They are like the BI-Xenons. They are plug and play so you will not need any relays.

I wired mine straight to the battery with connectors and installed mini toggle switches.....mine are under front fender,back fender and under tank.they have been wet from riding in a rain storm and the only thing I discovered was the tape on the lights don't stick good at all.if u purchase these be sure and buy 3-m body moulding and emblem black tape to install them

I believe that there is a relay or transistor or some electronic circuit that turns the lights on when the battery voltage is over 12 voltage. This is because the alternator design to maintain over 12 voltage while the car is running. My technical terminology is not working for me right now, lol....Follow the instructions - red lead to the positive battery terminal and black lead to the negative terminal - then connect your LED lights to the respective leads. That's it. I have connected mines and they have been working fine... no problem. ..

There is no on/off switch. Batteries installed should make the light blink. Yours must be defective...or your batteries are bad.

Yes, the lights go off completely, unless you select the "dim/full" option. I didn't go out to look at how this was done when I set it up, but that's how I set it up at installation. So, I don't use the dimming feature, just on/off. And, the on/off is enabled only at dusk. They go off on a timed setting, also selectable.

I wired mine through my backup lights only comes on when vehicle is in reverse. Originally I had it wired directly was able to turn on and off Whenever I wanted but it would automatically come on every time I started the vehicle got tired of shutting it off so I rewired it to come on only when I put The vehicle in reverse.

I just hooked mine directly to a trolling motor battery with spring clips & they are bright.you might have a problem with your relay.try hooking them up direct & see how bright they get.

Yes in a way, if you turn the factory switch to the on position, they will remain on (unless from the factory your lights are disabled when the ignition is off). In a typical users setup, the factory switch just acts as an override to the auto headlight function.
