Connecting to Battery

[AE1M]

I am installing HIDs and want to connect the harness directly to the battery (preferably through a fuse). I would prefer to have one clamp on the battery post, what is the best and most reliable way to do this you guys have found? Since it is keeping the headlights on, I don't care to skip on this.

Thanks,
Bob

The harnesses should already include a fuse in them at the point where they connect to the battery.

The best way is to connect them using a 5/16 ring terminal crimped onto the power leads and then connect that ring terminal to the stud with the nut on it where the other battery items are connected.

good info in this thread on what you're looking for but bad thread name for making it searchable for you.

Replied to that thread with the best method I know of for attaching accessories unless you're using an sPod
