Melting headlight switches, relays, and HIDs
So, I've been burning up headlight switches at a rate of about two per year. I always drove with my lights on, and I drive about 50K a year, so they get a lot of use. The Chrysler ones only last a few months longer than the NAPA ones, for twice the cost. Through my research here, I've gleaned that the solution is adding relays.
For some time, I've wanted to put in HIDs, but I've been waiting until I get the headlights squared away, thinking that I should gert them working as they should before I start modifying them further. Then I had a thought the other day, that perhaps I can kill two birds with one stone here.
My question, for those familiar with installing HIDs on these trucks, is: do the kits include relays for their operation? All I know is that they have special bulbs and ballasts, but if they come with relays as well, then upgrading to HIDs would solve the switch melting issue that's been plaguing me for years. Anyone know?
