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?

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.

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.

What size wire did you use?
Did you run four new wires???
I understand the relay wiring using the stock setup...got that.
