Question Just installed 3000k 55w hid fogs and need HELP

So i just installed 55w hid fogs. i bought them from DDM tuning. Theyr really bright and the perfect yellow i was looking for.

the problem is im wondering if i need a capacitor? it seems like theyr not enough initial power to get them on.

i need to put all the way to the left in the auto mode on the light switch while simultaneously pushing the fog lights for both to turn on and stay on.

if i do not do this then only one will come on. anyone else have this problem and did u solve it with a capacitor and where did u get it.

I'm pretty sure you need a capacitor. I also thought I remembered reading that 55w will melt your fog housings.

It's not drawing enough power to start. You should get an HID relay harness if you want them to turn on all the time.

EAS has them available
