Anyone have an HID install writeup?

I just bought an HID kit to go into my Hella housings. I got the kit recommended off another thread:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-H1...spagenameZWDVW

Anyone have an install writeup or some tips before I try and install this? I read something about installing a relay to use the autolamp feature...any tips on that? Thanks in advance.

Relays are very simple to install. You will need a common 4 pin relay around 30-40 amps. The relay goes something like, top pin goes to 12v battery, bottom is the 12v output, right side is ground and left side is the "switched on" power source (this is just to control the relay to turn on and off). I believe some relays are different, just go to your local audio shop and buy one for $5 and ask how they work.

Install is easy.

This kit has a built in relay and will NOT require an additional one.
You will need a H4 socket.... That is about it.

Thanks! What do I need an H4 socket for? I bought the H13 kit.

Also, will I need any additional wiring? Or is what came in the box sufficient?

Yes you will need wiring, just get yourself a simple electrical kit just in case.
