Default H1 & H2 HID Kit - Battery Drain

Figured I'd post an FYI on the Starr HID kits for the H1 and H2. I know there's a number of people here that have'em. I think these go by a few different names. Ones I'm talking about look like this-



The plugs going to the relays are wired wrong. Every thing will appear to be working correctly, but the relays will be powered up w/ the truck off. This will cause about 200-300mah draw that will drain your battery in 2 days. Since the directions say to wire it straight to the hot battery post on the fuse block, you will never find the draw by pulling fuses. The fix is simple, swap 2 wires in both of the relay plugs.
