Default Installing HID kit; where does relay go?

I just got an HID install kit. The kit was very nicely put together, except there's no installation instructions or diagram. Anyway, I need help figuring out where to install the relay. Other than that, this kit includes a nice wiring harness that basically makes it a plug-and-play kit.

I have not installed the HID's but I would think the relay could be mounted anywhere that is convenient and easily accessible.

Kit is from here: http://www.aandrmotorsport.com/store...t-clone-2.html

Also, my bad...they did include a sheet with a URL to their website which contained very good directions for the installation, including large, color photos. The link was buried among a bunch of other "stuff" on the sheet.

They were also very responsive to installation questions via email/phone.

haidangwa did you install your HIDs by removing the radiator cover? If so, is it possible to get to both the H11 (low) and 9005 (high) using this method?

No, removing the radiator cover doesn't allow access to the either bulb, but it's needed to route the wires from the passenger side to the driver's side. There's a weather cover directly behind the bulbs that needs to be pulled back to gain access. It's held in by a couple of clips. Even with the weather cover pulled out of the way, you're better off having small hands.
