HID relay ?

Help Support Nissan Navara Forum:
P = VI, and I = P/V
in your existing situation you have
I = 35/12 = approx 3A (for 2 lights = 6A)
In the new case
I = 100/ 12 = approx 8A (for 2 lights = 16A)
What is your relay rated to?, you will need to check. probably more than 16A, probably something like a 40A.
Also check can the ballasts you have handle such a large increase from 35 to 100W?

My Philips kit runs a new harness pretty much.
Just uses the original wiring to trigger the lights to turn on.

are those 100w hid as well? they should come with ttheir own ballasts- otherwise it will be the same - 35w
if so where did u buy em from?
standard halogen spotties are about 100w -so if u bought/used a std wiring harness u should be ok - just make sure there is a suitable fuse inline
and a s simon said check the relay

Is the fitting going to handle the triple heat output?
yes. i have done it multiple times and most products do but just couldnt remember about the relay..
As for the ballast they can handle the 100w hid globes.
