Hey man, I just ordered the H11 & H8 6000k XenonPro HID kit for my low beams and fog lights. I bought the canceler/anti-flicker wires but I didn't purchase the relay harnesses for either. A lot of threads said I didn't need the relay harnesses but now that I have my lights, I see that there are extra wires coming from the bulb that looks like it could be attached to a harness. Did you buy relay harnesses with the kit?

My kit came with one relay harness for each side. I would definitely recommend a relay harness after seeing the size of the factory wiring compared to that of the ballasts and relays..

Hey could you help me out with my setup? I've hooked up the positive to the fuse box just like yours. My negative wire is hooked up to the screw on the front bumper. When I turn on the lights, I hear the clicking sound from the relay harness fuse box but the lights don't turn on.

Hm I never saw that post. It does appear to be grounded to plastic/plastic coated metal.

Or is it possible that even though the screw is metal, the negative lead from the harness has some sort of protective coating on it? Maybe brush it with a wire brush and see if it starts working.

Nah, he put it under the washer instead of on top, therefore it's not actually grounded and between plastic and the washer. Should be between the bolt and the washer to get ground. Doesn't really matter now as this thread is from May.

I tried using the ground shown here as well. It worked for a little while and eventually no lights. I messed with this some and they were on again and a day later no lights. Turns out it wasn't grounding very good was the problem in this location shown. I decided to use the same ground the battery uses after that. It is frustrating when no lights when it gets dark and your trying to figure it out. Luckily I keep the old lights handy in the trunk and swapped them in till I could see what I was doing.

Why not just ground it on the battery terminal?
