    if youre crafty and know how to spec out the right relay then youll easily be able to find one locally for way cheaper than you'd buy a relay harness online. however, if youre not electrically smart then go ahead and buy a relay harness online somewhere.

    $5 for a "Fog light relay" at your local parts store.

    If you want to get rid of the flicker, Just put in a 4700 uf 35 volt or even 50 volt capacitor right on the factory connector to the hid ballast plug. You only need 1. I put it on my 07 GXP the other night and flicker is gone completely. You retain the DRL, auto lights.
