If anyone is available and knows anything about this relay and how to get it to keep constant power to my hids please contact me!
 
Are you using a circuit to power the Coil? Not sure why you're using a relay to hold constant power to HIDs - Relays are for making/breaking seperate circuits depending on what you use to activate the coil. Got a schematic? and I could help more.
 
im trying to do what kajer did in his hid redux thread but on a xb12r if that helps but the wiring is a bit different. I rewired the flasher but the yellow low beam wire ends at the connector. There is a blue wire that goes to the lights providing constant 12v power so I used that to power the relay then linked it to the common terminal on the + side of coil. negeative comes from black wire goin to lights. I can get constant power to the lights with this relay but what I want it to do is provide power to the lights once the bike is running and I hit the flasher. Hope that makes more sense.
 
The constant power in should not be hooked up to the coil. The coil needs to be hooked up to the flasher swtich and one of the normally open pins (usually it's the 87 pin.)

Hope that's what you're looking for.
 
I tried hooking the flasher switch to the positive side of coil and then to a normally open but everyway I tried and then tested it I only had just a surge of power to the relay when I hit the flasher button and then nothing so I either had to hook it up so that it got constant power or a surge of power and thats it so Im stumped on this relay and the flasher idea and im gona try a different approach.
