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: And now after I installed the relay.... SO MUCH BRIGHTER! Thanks guys for all the help!
Couldn't have done it without you guys also forgot to mention that I am running 10 gauge wire throughout now
