Important Hid Fyi

I've been doing HID retrofits for years and all you guys buying all these HID kits should have a read of this article. If you need some help on this just give me a holla, and I'll be glad to help. I wouldn't want you guys to screw up your electrical system if you do not install diodes. PLEASE READ: I'm not blowing this out of my ***. Just trying to help all you clowns

Where's the diodes on these wiring harnesses??? Diodes do not let current go back to your electrical system, switches etc....

basically what happens is theres a fuse on the harness...if the current ever came back the fuse would blow rather then ur HIDs or ur wiring.

The fuse protects from over current. Do you know the difference between a diode and a fuse?

He clearly Has no idea what a diode is

A diode is a one way check valve basically current can only flow one way
