HID And GDO ?

GDO will not work with the HID lights, someone sent me a fix, does this seem like it would fix the problem? 2012 SERG   Thanks Doc

Looks interesting. I'd like to know about the white and OR/Wh wires. Where are they coming from. I've done some work with relays on my truck and understand the concept and how they work, just wanting to see more explanation of the pix though. I don't have a set of HIDs in my sergu and would like them. The GDO is too convenient to lose though.

The white wire is the high beam wire and the orange and white wire would be the power source if I am correct.  Thanks Doc

All other things being equal, that relay should work.  Keep in mind, at least from my experience, the GDO seems to be very sensitive to voltage.  Mine drove me nuts, so I finally just replaced it with a Flash To Pass.  The relay would be a cheaper fix, if it works...you'd likely only be out <$10 and a little time.

High beam wire from the stock harness I would assume. And the OR/WH wire would be the low beam from the stock harness? Makes sense. 87a is normally closed allowing the constant voltage through for the low beam and when the high beam switch is thrown the relay would then switch the power to the high beams.

What you have stated is how I assume it is to be wired, will give it a try today, will let you all know how it comes out.  Thanks Doc

Well now. Time to order some Hids for mine. I already have a few relays and relay harnesses for them laying around for truck mods.
