I made a set up for myself with twin hellas. The difference is night and day. Quicker warm up. Instant ignition, no weirdness.
These will be the best quality you can/could get, or make on your own. They look the same as other maker's HID relays but made with real components.
There are limited places to order set ups like this online for 150+$ but the connectors would have to be switched out and lengths are random.
I don't know what the general consensus is about where people have their ballasts mounted, and where they are mounting their relay/s.
I'd like to standardize wire lengths but the option for custom lengths to compensate for different mount positions will be available.
The info I need is mounting locations of relay metal holder/s and ballast locations, for example, driver or passenger side relay mount and where ballasts are located.
I'm using a single (double as requested) 40 amp normally open hella with delphi/aptiv waterproof female socket with correct terminals and seals, and mount hole to fit our fenders. GXL 12 & 14 AWG, 15 amp fused (or 20). Delphi/aptiv 9006 male relay trigger for LC (lx later), and 9006 female delphi/aptiv ballast input. All with correct dephi/aptiv terminals for 12 and 14 awg and real Te ring terminals.
Bosch and tyco alternatives fit with delphi female sockets if someone prefers to use their own. Be aware they are all around 15$ each with mount tab and female skirt.
Fuse rating based on XB ballasts 35 and 55W with no wire longer than 5'. No fuse on ballast, just on battery line position 30 on 4 pin.
I need to check xb 55W current, inrush.
(30A @90°C 5' length of 12 AWG)
For all I know everyone might have different mount points and everyone might need different lengths. I wanted to check though.
I can't stress enough how much a difference it makes having a quality relay set up for these. 3.5 years ago I didn't know better.
This set will cure almost all HID ignition problems and you would definitely know if you have a ballast, ignitor cord, or bulb failure without all the checking and wondering about wire/relay problems.
I do need mount location examples though. I'm' going to make a couple next week. They will be less than 100$ shipped for singles. Doubles probably right around 110$ not for sure yet, don't quote me.
thank you
