so, i got my new H4 headlights with the 55/100 bulbs. i also got 4 good relays to make sure the headlights get all the juice they need. here's my question: - shouldn't i be able to just run 1 (one) heavy gauge wire to each side? i might be thinking this through too much, but i never use the low beams and high beams at the same time, so why not share the 12V feed for both (per side) ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) does that make sense at all? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Andy |

andy....
you could probably get away with 1 relay for low, and one for high... BTW - where are you mounting the relays? |
