 I have a set of Cibie H4's with very bright 90W bulbs thanks to a PO. I was checking the wiring,  the stock wiring is marginal 18 gauge at best. I added two Bosch 30A 'ice cube' relays and used 14 gauge wire to supply power to the relays and also from the relays to the headlamps. The brightness increase was surprising.


EDIT: I ran my wiring the same way as John Kimbrough shows on his Web site, i.e. I used a single 14 gauge feed wire for both relays. I use a 30 amp fuse in the circuit. I will soon split the low beam and high beam power supply so that if the fuse for one blows I'll still have the other. This means running another 14 gauge wire to my power pickup point and adding another fuse holder.
