    x2 do the relay. it made mine brighter and its safe. it gives you reassurance knowing you did it right. i just drove with mine on for 2 hours straight pretty much and nothing went out

    That site with the calculator is great, helps a lot. Thanks guys! Unfortunately I have to wait till Friday to finish the wiring and clean everything up :/ But as far as having the truck running, I have left them on with just the ignition on, cranked her up and besides a slight flicker when it started, the lights pretty much stayed the same, possibly a little dimmer. I definitely need to get a relay though....

    A little update ;) Both pictures were taken without headlights, only the 100 watts

    Here is a picture from the day I shortened and cleaned up the grounds:
