Install the relay even if you think it is not necessary. It will isolate the hid kit from the AAM/EAM etc. HID kit does not like current coming from AAM, need straight 12v. This may cause unexpected issues. Don't pay thousands later in order to save a few bucks today.

If you are asking about AAM programming, no, it is not necessary to change the coding. If the relay chatters (rapidly turns on and off due to pulse modulation), then you will need to capacitor to turn that to constant supply.
