02 Gp & H.I.D.

**villanex** · 02-07-2013

OK, I HAD a 97 Gp Gtp, I bought HIDs for it, connected them straight to the harness, instantly got flickering in the dash lights, headlights flickered, etc. Then I got a relay harness, it stopped all of the problems.

My problem is that my 97 Gp Gtp was my second car, my first was a 2000 Alero, which I too had HIDs for BUT were connected to the stock harness and never had any flickering or dash problem's... now I have a 02 Gp Gtp sexy ass beast and I've ordered my 5000k kit, now has anyone had any problems with the 2000+ yr Gp's and HIDs? Can I connect them straight go the harness and not expect any issues?

I have ordered a relay harness just in case of any problems, but I rather not have to use it.

Go with the harness to be safe. I have hids in my 00 and they flicker a little bit without a harness but with a harness they work great.

Use the harness its cheap insurance from preventing you from frying your electrical system.

Or just wetsand,compound,polish then wax them out? Much better results then the toothpaste method.

heres my thoughts on the relay harness and headlights... Even when using normal bulbs such as my silverstars I always build a relay harness for them. I used my DMM on the factory headlight plugs and was measuring 11.xx volts. after building the Relay harness I now read right at 14.4. Much better, brighter, whiter output.

My point is always when you upgrade lighting get a relay harness. Easy to build and cheap to.

As to cleaning the headlight lenses... I wetsand with 600, 800, 1200, then 1500. Then buff and polish. then wax a few coats. Or sometimes if Im going with clearcoat I will go 600, 800, 1000, then paint multiple coats, cure and wetsand with 1500 and polish then wax.
