HID harnesses are so cheap now that there's no real benefit to making it yourself anymore.
    Ok, cool & I can get this relay harness from that online retrofit store correct? also can I hook up both headlight hid's 2 1 relay harness or do I need 2 buy 2 relay harnesses?

    i thought u were doing HID fogs? if you have HID heads you will need a separate relay harness for those; u need a relay harness for each pair of ballasts that u want to go on together. do u have H4 bixenon or hi/low or just regular low beam HID (no high beam)? u will need to get the correct harness for what u r using. additionally, if u allready have the flickering problem, your ballasts or bulbs may already b permanently damaged and a relay harness will not be able to fix the problem; u will need a new HID kit.

    I have a h.i.d kit 4 the headlights they have not been installed yet. right now I'm running the stock light bulbs. Which are hi/lo beam. My hid kit I have 4 the heads R only low beam.

    Nobody "hating" if thats what you meant. Simply find it hard to understand and read your posts to even try to make a vaild and legitimate suggestion. And trust me I have held back on bringing it to your attention in hopes that you might realize it and try to improve on it on your own, simply by comparing how the rest of the community writes their posts and how you text yours.

    8000K is more like purple and will not be very good for night driving (8000K+ is more for show than actual driving) as that part of the spectrum of light does not reflect well off of objects (you will not be able to see very well). OE HID is never over 6000K and almost always is right around 4250K since that has the best performance in both luminosity and reflectivity. if you still want to get 8000K, at least get a hi/low kit and harness or better yet a bixenon version, so that you can keep your high beams... you might need them because your low beams will be dim.
