Headlights relays, conversion done!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Mar-02 AT 10:37 PM (EST)]I forgot to tell you guys that my headlight conversion went well last weekend!

The headlight wiring was completely redone with relays and 14 gauge wire! The task went very well and I am very pleased with the increase in brightness and whiteness of the stock lights! I figure that the whole shebang with connectors and relays cost me around $40 Canadian. Not bad!

I also put in a h4 conversion kit with 60/55w blue coated xenons that really whiten the light.

Below is a picture of the headlights after the relays were installed, but the passenger light being a sealed beam and the driver side being the h4 conversion bulbs.

Thanks everyone for their advice!
It was so easy, why didn't I do this earlier?

Weldman,

Glad to see your conversion went well. You'll think its the best money spent when you're out at night the first time.
