I guess that is what I am trying to figure out is how to wire the HIDs 
with a new relay.  I have a lobotomized relay right now (to avoid the 
autocheck), so, I would have to put in a second relay for the ballasts, 
or wire the ballasts into the Hella lobotomized relay?  This is why I 
didn't go into EE.
