Default H.I.D. Relay for '03 G.A.

I got another H.I.D. kit and this one is for the G.A. My question is do I need to run the relay kit for an '03 (with newer wiring then the '92)?

Thanks!

Relay is to be used to power the balasts for the HID'*..well I thought that I didnt need to run the Relay Kit due to the car beening newer and the wiring to be superior to my '92 Bonnie...well thats what I get for thinking!

I don't know if it is the kit that I have on my cars or not yet, I have had to use this kit....(basically you have a harness that goes to power and ground, then runs to each balast and it acts as a switch)

Ive been told it'* also hit or miss with the grand prixs as well.

I just ordered a 35w hid kit from DDMtuning for my 2001 gp, guess I'll find out if i need the harness.
