so, the H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit on pelican recommends a high-power relay for the 100 watt bulbs.
now the stupid question: do i just need one or do i need one for each headlight? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

Mine are the housing with replaceable bulbs. Hella has a nice glass one, there are some cheap plastic ones on ebay, which I have heard suck.
Hella H4 If you go with the 100w bulbs you'll need to get power straight from the battery as the fuse panel can't handle it. The original power lead for the headlights, becomes the switch for the relay. |

Rich I didn't use the 100w H4s, I used the 65w, so I just used the stock wiring. There is no need for relays or extra wiring. However, if you use the 100w bulbs, it seems one wire from the battery to handle 200w would require 10ga wiring. |
