When I unplug the lights from the oem connectors the clicking stops. The HID's I bought are 35 watts. Any ideas? Thanks

Please put me in contact with these people so we can do horrible things to them. Projectors are FANTASTIC. Go to my build thread and look at the cutoff on my hids and show these to those people. Projectors are the only thing hids should be used in because every other housing scatters the light and blinds oncoming traffic like those Honda's you see nowadays

Its an XJ Sport. I thought the website said the lows were hids and the highs are halogen in a single bulb. http://www.carhidkits.com/jeep-83/. I found a thread on here that explains I need to disconnect the delay relay under the dash to get it to stop clicking. Does anyone know if I disconnect it, will it affect anything else?

Do I loose my high beams? No, if your vehicle has two bulbs in each headlight, your high beam will work just the same. If your vehicle has 1 bulb that does low/high, our kits come with integrated bulb with low beam = HID and your high beam will be a regular halogen bulb. Yes, all in the same bulb! We are the only company that offers this!
