Default HID Relay Harness for fogs???

Ok, I am ordering the raptor kit from DDMtuning for my Trans Am. For you people that did it, did you guys have to get the relay harness for it to work properly?

When I installed HID's on my motorcycle I had to make my own relay harness because the lights would flicker on startup or during hard acceleration. I figure the T/A would have enough power but I figured I would ask. So thanks for any input.

Oh ya, I'm ordering the 35w 6000k.

I've had my HID fogs for almost 2 years without an aftermarket wiring harness; total plug n play. No problems whatsoever.

I only put HIDs into the low beams. For those I used a relay. My fog upgrades went from a 25w OEM bulb to a 55w H7 bulb, which draws 5A. I used the harness that was in place. If you are going to the 35w DDM kit, I believe the peak draw for the 35w is 6A, so I would expect you to be fine.
