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?

One for high beams, one for low. One for the left side, one for the right. That makes FOUR. I would use the generic 40A VW relays. 141 951 253B. They're less than 5 bucks apiece. The Cap'n
