none of those, if you had a relay it would be on a separate harness with wires for a ground and power and you would have a little relay box on the harness....basically it protects your battery from the additional amps that HID's use during startup but its uneccessary on our stangs.....in my experience with installing HID's, you have the ballast with a female and male plug coming out of it with a spot to plug in your factory harness...then you have the HID bulb with a female and male plug coming out of it....you connect those to the correct ballast plugs, unplug the factory harness from the factory light and plug that into the open plug on the ballast and it should work

Retro, we don't need relay harnesses so there is a good chance yours didn't come with one.
