rennie,

Be sure to check the prices on those bus depot H-4's. They will probably run
around 30 bucks each.

The Fast Forward ones are 120 Canadian, I think.....That makes it around 60
or 70 US........But these have parking lights built into the housing.

So when you shut off the key with the lights on, ypu will see the faint glow
of the H-3's, kind of a cool look more than anything.  I bought the regular
flat H-4's and

love them, but wish I had purchased the Euro H-4's.

You should upgrade the bulbs to 80/100 watt bulbs,  I have not installed
relays and have had no problems with the bright switch on the steering
column.

But the right way would involve running a relay off of one big fat red wires
that leads into the fuse block.. Be sure to install a 20A fuse
