So I know there are threads about H4s out there but I've gotten mixed answers from different people, so here it goes. Would I need to run separate relays for hella h4s like these
Someone told me that I should play it safe and get relays for them, Someone else said that the power is very close to the stock headlights and the switch should handle it, and a third someone told me to just run a thicker ground wire.
Called Pelican and they are 55/60 watt. If I would need to run new relays, who sells a kit that I could purchase?

H4 relays should be readily available from your local FLAPS, at least they were when i bought mine some 10 years ago.

Do *not* run H4 lights without relays!

Doesn't the stock circuit already have relays? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

That's what I thought, so you have to wonder do you remove the original or just add 2 more in line?
