I spoke to the seller about the relay harness because of the disclaimer on their site... He said that everything comes included in the kit for the HIDs I bought.... ,I questioned again and again he said everything will be fine.

Still no reply from seller!!!

Thanks again everyone

Certainly rather lack-luster CS on their part, but the issue is pretty cut and dry given that it functions fine on battery. This is very well documented issue with more modern can-bus vehicles.

I´m a bit fuzzy here, you did state that everything is not fine, right? As in they flicker while the car is running now? Unless this is a support line call routed to a 3rd world nation, I´d think more than a few calls per day/week would be about this issue.

So if you really wish to keep/install them, I´d get their kit or one of the many others sold if you have the model # and you wish to have an in-line matching solution. Or you can just make a cheap solution yourself from the info provided.

OKay, so I finally heard from Dante at HIDGUY, where I got the kits. He said that I do have the relay harness, however, apparently I need the cancellation kit to stop the flickering.

I need to send back my fog light kit as they are the wrong size (my fault), so he is sending out the new fogs and the cancellation kit as well. I shall update when all arrives!

Fingers crossed
