I'm doing the hid convertion on my 86. My question is, I know I need a relay so I don't draw all that juice threw my stock head light harness!! So what relay kit should I get and where do I get it from? Painless has one but it's like 120$ and I've read on forums people getting them from eBay! But there is so many I have no clue witch one I need??? Has anyone done this to theirs or does anyone have any idea where to get one and what kind I need???!!

a universal 4 post 30amp relay sould work just fine. any auto parts store has them, as long as you know how to wire it in

DDM Tuning, order the univerdal slim ballast HID kit with High/Low option and choose whichever bulb size and color you need. They offer a very nice relay harness for an extra $20 I believe. All in all you can get the headlight high/low kit for like $60 I believe. I helped a buddy install one the other day on his cobra, one of the better kits I have seen around regarding an all in one package with relay harness.

Awesome. Thx. Any wiring diagrams?

It's pretty straight forward the relay harness is just a matter of plugging the adapter into the driver headlight harness, then you put the power wire to the battery and ground each side of the harness to the chassis. Like I said the harness is really great for the price.
