Hi,

I recently installed Relays on the H4' Headlights to the van just last week.
I've been told by an Auto-Electrician there is about a 50% improvement in
the lighting. I'm not sure about that but the improvement is beyond
expectations. Thanks Phil Lander for your assistance and the tip on the Web
Page.

Phil's recommendation was for 2 relays for High Beam (L&R Circuit). I added
another relay for Low beam. 3 Relays in all.

I travelled from Canberra to Sydney in the evening and they were
great(3hrs). If you haven't done it I fully recommend it. With the Square
Headlights it really improves things.

For those in North America who don't have H4's, I fully recommend them. They
came standard in Australia.

David Marshall has kits for H4's http://www.fastforward.ca/

Other than that an Auto-Electrician should be able to do the wiring upgrade
if you don't feel comfortable cutting and splicing wiring looms.



Best Regards,



Chris
