Hi there,

Brand new, First Post, and limited knowledge.

I have purchased a relay (its nice and small), the planned purpose is to use my existing low beam signal to power up my HID light. This application is for a 2005 Honda Motorcycle.

Can someone tell me what lead to which pole?

I am assuming i will have the following:
Signal power in.
Main Power in.
Main power out.

Can someone also tell me what im missing because there are 2 poles left.

Thanks

Ground to #2

Main 12v Power in #3

don't know how much you know about the hid's. i understand howyou are using the lowbeam to turn it on and off, are you using your high beam for

anything? I just found out that the hid's do not like the voltage change and will die a lot sooner if you try to use low and hi beams on it. If you knew tha already

great, ifnot hopefully it is useful information for you:)
