Default relay harness of HIDs

i don't mean to beat a dead horse.....but I am wanting to install some HIDs and don't know if i really need the relay harness. I read some threads on here and I am just not sure. I am going to go w/ 35w 5000k HIDs in my lows and fogs. Do you really need a relay harness?

Some people here have run without one with no issues, but I wouldn't think of retrofitting HIDs without using a relay harness. If you can spend $40 to $100 on a HID kit, then you can probably spend the $12 or so on a harness so that you know both of those lights will fire EVERY time.

You can run it without the harness, they'll be fine.
