    Im new here. I have read the sticky on hid lighting but dont know if that applies to me or not. I'm new to tacomas so please give me a little time. I have an 2010 duouble cab. Do I need a relay with the hids or not. I know in the sticky it says i need one but that was an 09 and i have an 2010 lol. So do i need a relay harness for them to work and is that it. just the kit and that relay and thats all.

    When you replace the headlight to HID, you do need relay harness, I suggest you order it from DDM turning. They have good products. Also the fog light when i do mind I have not add any relay harness on it. it is easy to do it.

    Just be sure to get Bi-xenon for your headlights. That way you can keep your high beams.
