I have E-Code lights (headlamps) They won't turn on unless the engine is running. I forget if the stock lights behave the same way. Since they did the relay thing, am I limited to 55 watts? I saw Piaa bulbs claiming their 55 was -> 110 watts in effect. Pricey. Don't know what to believe. > On Jan 26, 2015, at 10:52 AM, KIM BRENNAN <kimbrennan@MAC.COM> wrote: > > The connectors are designed for 55 Watts.
