I just always read of people having issues with HID's flickering and not turning on and what not, and was wondering if having a relay would prevent this? I'm assuming it would since it would allow direct power draw from the battery, and therefore would not be limited to the power provided by the factory harness.

I don't think it would be a problem, but if it were, a relay probably wouldn't work to keep flickering down, but might. I just doubt it would help. I have HID's, and if you get a good kit, flickering shouldn't be a problem. Mount them well and you should be good.

To have the LED on when the switch is on, you'd have the + of the LED/resistor go to whatever terminal the load is tied to.
BP: I really have no idea. Haven't done anything with HID, nor do I know what they are like. Sorry man.  |
Ok, so the + of the load goes to the common, and the - goes to the normally open, then the anode with a resistor goes to the common as well, and the cathode goes to?
