Of course you need a relay harness, your stock wires can't take that much power from the hid ballasts

Yes it can be possibly the ballast if it's like that, or it can be your bulbs.
Try switching blubs and if the same thing happens it's the ballast.

Get a relay harness after when your done solving that problem.

sounds like it can either be the bulb or the ballast, to check take out the bulb, and look in the center, if the globe is black its the bulb, but ifs its smokey its the ballast, or just switch the bulb to the other side. If you still are having trouble diagnosing it call us at 718-846-2407. As for the harness, it has nothing to do with that, nor the fuse.
