I was curious about whats actually legal and from what I understand 55 or 65w on lows and I didnt see anything for high beams. So, technically with those Hellas 80/100w i'd kinda be on the other side of legal, not that I'm mister by the book but just sayin... I really havent done a ton of research on those harnesses posted earlier. Brad said that one Putco was kind of a POS; I wonder if I could just use those pigtails( 9007 Heavy Dury Wiring Harness | Plug & Play Headlight Wire Upgrade 9007 do I need a kit w relays like this one?

Also, I havent polled anyone yet so for those of you subd to this thread; have you had and headlight or headlight housing heat related heat issues with the OEM housings when going to a brighter/hotter bulb like those 80/100s?

Even a cheap relay setup is better than the stock setup here is a Good harness nut not cheap http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/...relaykits.html REAL Hella relays(not chinese knock offs), heavy wiring and quality plugs

Also, just out of curiosity whats the risk of heat damage if any to the OEM housings and reflectors with any of the brighter/hotter bulbs such as the Hella 80/100s, the Philips Crystal Vision/Extream Vision, or the Sylvania Silverstars?

Update: I spoke with a Fella who owns a racers supply store in RI, he said they have been carrying Hellas and PIAAs for years as well as new to them Putco and Atomic LEDs. We spoke at length and he appeared to be well versed on auto lighting. I settled on the PIAA extreams since I've already ordered the harness.. Well, I'm commited now. I'll let ya know how it works out..

I know Cary at CT Performance either has a guy or Cary is doing them himself, but converting Ford Factory housings to HID. Suppose to be WAY better than the China made ones.
