Just.... wrong. But I see there's nothing else I can do to help here. A direct connection is no different then a plug when it comes to load. If it were an absurd load, the factory fuse would pop. Ballasts draw a much smaller load then a halogen bulb, even at startup. I hate to say you're misinformed... but the ballasts draw their current from the battery and their power wires, not the factory plugs/harness.Originally Posted by Fuster_Cluck
The ballasts draw a large amount of current at start up. This can overload the OEM wiring which was not designed to handle such a load which then can lead to an electrical fire. It's not supposed to be wired that way. Yes, that is one option for wiring HIDs, but is it safe..... well you take a risk.
If I wanted to wire the HIDS to my OEM wiring:
1) I wouldn't of purchased a battery wire harness
2 I would of plugged everything in as stated.
But, I want to do this the safe / proper way.
My build was very time & money consuming without cutting any corners. Why would I want to cut the corner with the electrical now
