Hi, I have a old Golf which has daytime running lights that run at 3.5volts, I want to run this cheap HID kit I purchased from eBay for $50 but it doesn't have enough power to power up the relay, so I added a 4700uf Capacitor, and it worked, but the car gives a annoying bulb out warning and the capacitor is giving power back to the car which could cause problems, so I wanted to only allow the capacitor to give power to the relay and block it from going back to the 3.5v source, and also at the same time I wanted to add a resistor to take the load from the car so the bulb warning light doesn't drive me crazy, I drew up an idea so you guys can see it.

Is there anything I can do to stop the current? Or is this hopless?

 

A diode where you have the "Stop Here" mark.

A properly rated diode will act as a "one-way valve" for electricity.

Thank you retched, how can I know which one I would use?

Would this work ? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062578

 

What is the specs on the lamps? Do you have a data sheet that shows current draw? If it is less then 3 amps, then they will work.

No, I guess I have to get a multimeter and test it, thank you
