I decided to take a light mechanism in to the platers with the last batch. I really like the way it came out. I polished up the ring and mounted the Carello's. Then I stuck the trim piece on there for good measure.

These, the Pilots and the Hella's and Aaron and I should be lighting up the night. I hope that 911 alternator can keep up!

you will need to run dedicated 12 or 10 gauge wires to the front of the car with relays for that kinda current draw!

55 x 6 = 330 watt draw in my application

http://www.angelfire.com/pa/baconbacon/page2.html

330 watts at 12v is 27.5 amp current draw....

a CDI (msd type) pullsa bout 9 amps i hear
fuel pump = 3 or 4?
various sidemarker and brakelight etc lamps = X amps

27.5 + 9 = 36.5 amp draw, plus ligths fuel pump etc...

dont think a stock 55 amp type 4 alt will handle it
