okay i am wondering where to get the power to power the hids ( which is headlights and Foglights ) and then another power source to power the foglights themself? where would it be safe?

also im running a 600watts amp, 12"sub woofer in my car and footwells. can the battery handle that? anything i should add? i have already relays for the hids and such. please let me know!

get power from parking lights... also 600w amp is fine with stock battery... im running stock battery with 1200w RMS and light and amp meters are fine no dimming, flickering etc.

Go right to the Positive battery post in the engine compartment and put in an in line fuse.

If you are powering directly from the Positive Post in the engine compartment and still getting a dimming, Check your ground. If you are ground is marginal this will happen !

+1 to this. I got a battery wiring harness to do just this. It was cheap when I bought my 55w AC HID kit.

No problems with dimming, flickering, etc, they're super bright.
