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 |

Call me foolish but I have put H4's on both my old 924 and my current 944, never installed a relay and have never in 5+ years had an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
