Default Adding relay to HID? Hid flickering help.

I just bought an hid kit for my lows. It dosen't have a relay or fuses. Should I add one or is it not worth it? It would probably void my 2 year warranty. Also i started my car the other day and the passanger side bulb didnt light right away. I turned the car off and then started it again and it went but then both lights started flickering and my radio was cutting in and out. They didnt stop until they would normally fade after locking it. Any ideas what to do?

you don't need relay. get a seperate wire harness for it. without the harness it makes your radio static and light flickering. the harness will make the hid brighter cause the power is coming straight from the battery instead of sharing its power with all the other lights llike dash, dome, and other light accessories

Alright I'll have to do that. I think i just had a loose connection on the passenger side. I disconnected it and reconnected it and I haven't had problems since. Thanks for the help!
