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) ???
