nope, long as you run the stock 55/60's. If you are lookin to bump up the watts, i would probably drop im a relay to give the old wiring a rest

Thanks: 1 times
drop in a relay anyway. Nice little bit of insurance with the old wire.

I would use a relay as it has the potential to make your headlights brighter due to less voltage drop.

As Paul says too less strain on the old wiring but the Docktor is also correct in saying that you don't have to.

yes definitely a relay will help you to control the brightness. but its better to go for HIDs instead of just replacing them over. they are very useful at night times

I wanted a High Intensity Discharge kit which is a very cool light and better visibility especially during night driving. I opted to go with the single beam HID kit too and love it, they are cheaper on ebay but I wanted a warranty so I got it here [URL=
