Doesn't the grille look too cool!!!!!
Ok. Call Competition Limited @ 800.770.5553. They sell the high wattage
bulbs and a wiring harness upgrade that'll handle just about anything you
want to reasonably put in for bulbs. It includes all wiring/relays to
address the _headlights_ and for the most part is a direct plug and play
application.I will have to splice in a heavy 10 AWG wire to bridge the
battery to the fusible links as the harness is set up for a conventional
cars layout of the engine compartment, with the battery, being just behind
the headlights.
The driving lights are a different story. I'm going to isolate them from
the headlights current draw and use a tap on the high beam hot for a signal
to a relay only. Right now i'm not running the driving lights as I just
replaced all switches associated with the headlights and don't want to fry
them. i also plan on a double throw toggle to allow me to select: on
w/highbeams--off totally--on at all times!
I plan on taking care of this project later this week if weather holds.
