2001silverado364 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The general rule of thumb is 35w=no relay and 55w=relay. But you didn't specify your wattage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 This is basically true. You can still run a 55w kit without the relay but you can expect only one headlight to come on at times. It also has to do with the brand. I have had issues with only one headlight coming on in my SS and I had DDM 55ws with no relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've had 55w DDM lights for about a year now without a relay without any issues. I wouldn't say it is necessary, but a good idea to ensure longevity of the lights and ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001silverado364 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I mounted mine to the plastic support bracket right behind the headlight with a big zip tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
