thanks a lot for the reply, I spoke to a tech that when installing a foglight along with HID Headlight u need a combination harness? well what I did is install HID on both head&fog & run power straight to the battery. I also installed a swithch for the headlight so I can manually turn it on & off. after what the tech said I ordered the combination harness & I'm going to have the dealer install it & remove the manual headlight switch. tech said everything needs to run thru the harness cause it minimizes the amount of power drawn to the battery is this true? the hid I have use for the past 5yrs is rikensports which is 35W & 10A Current per manufacturer.
