>>       Not really.  It all depends on the relays and wires.  You need properly rated relays and wires to keep the 400 watts from burning something.  The only problem I have seen is that damn 9004 bulb socket cannot take the power, the contacts are too small and eventually the heat melts the plastic of the socket and will kill it.  I�ve replace them with ones from NAPA and they seem to hold up better.  On my van I do not have that problem as years ago I installed the Euro H4 headlamps with the H4 bulbs, their bulb holders have BIG fat contacts in the bulb sockets !  The relay kits I sell <http://www.frankcondelli.com/staging1/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1090> are made to handle 400 watts.  I know it works as my personal Westy has had this set for many, many years and we do a lot of milage, you all know that of course, with the 400 watts a glowing for hours on end and never have we had any  problems.
