Please tell us you're using legit fuses and not cheap knockoffs as they've been known to cause cars to burn to the ground.
Normally 85 and 86 don't matter polarity wise, which way the current runs, UNLESS they have a tamping diode in the coil, in which case I think you do since you're blowing fuses and seeing 1v where you should be seeing 12v on the output side.
check this link out, I think it will sort things out in your thinking.
Relay Basics
Good, I only use littlefuse brand now, went thru the cruiser when I first got it and found 2 that were Chinese, on rear heater fan, which I had already pulled, and the other for radio.Pep Boys. Legit stuff.
Wow, that's scary! Some of them were holding until 85 amps... On a 10 amp fuse
Just be glad they are half the price of the equivalent TRS kit. Now, for mounting, you can certainly attempt using the included threaded body, but we ran into clearance issues between the lens of the projector and lens of the headlight. So we ended up just boring a 2" hole in the headlight and mounting with KwikSteel. Very easy this way! There's a generic guide out there that recommends doing it the exact same way.
fI had the same problem with the end of my d2s projector contacting the inside of the depo lens, these are morimoto projectors. I ended up dremeling out the inside for clearance. The improvement in light output is worth it.
For some reason I keep getting condensation inside my driver side light.. that's my next task.
Thanks for the d

Thanks for the feedback ! makes me feel better that I am not the only one and that morimoto is the same issue
When you dremeled it out , did you loose the ability to use the H4 adapter and nut on the projector ? even though its been done I don't like the glue method, and also it would be hard to level it right
I am going to have to open it again, which now that I have done it 3 times (one for each side and one screw up) it should be smooth ! LOL
We used a 2" hole saw right through the back of the housing and mounted with Kwik steel. Super easy, and durable. Gives you miles of clearance and looks much more professional. I've done about nine conversions so far, and prefer this method to the nut and bolt method.Well, I installed a DDM D2S V2 Projector this w-end... I was able to get the projector to seat deeper by installing the silicone gasket after I put the projector and used the threaded nut. I thought it was going to give me enough clearance but after I put everything together I am about 1 mm too tall !!! urrgg.. the projector is hitting the glass and wont let me adjust up.
I have read many people installing these without issue ? also is the moritomo one a little smaller ?
Interested in this as well. Or any other detailed methods/write-ups.@absalom do you have some pictures you can post ? Also how do you make sure they are leveled when you apply the glue ?
Thanks !
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 200w/14V=14A? [W=VxI]You could run both sides from one relay but you'll need more wire, and the cost savings won't be much, and i wouldn't do it if there were a possibility of using the (not street legal) H4 bulbs with a 100w high beam. Because 200w at 14v is far closer to the 30A rating than i want to be.
