    I a'm going to install relays on my head light . The wiring diagrham I have seen is to run new wires to both lights ?? Is this needed or can I use the factory wiring and splice in the relay wiring .

    Just thought I would ask

    p.s. there is no problem with my wiring

    the idea of the realy with new wireing is that the old wires develope a resistance over time. the new wires give you the brightest light possible. dont wire it so the brights and regular lights stay on at the same time. they will get to hot and burn out pretty fast.
