I ran the power for my Hella XL's directly from the
main fuse block in my '87 Camper. My camper has no
factory options that draw power (except the radio)
from the front fuse block, so I felt comfortable
adding this circuit directly to the 'P' terminal on
the fuse block. I also found that the difference in
voltage potential between the (+) battery terminal
post and the 'P' terminal on the fuse block was small
enough that adding a homerun to the battery was
unnecessary.

If you install the Hella XL's, you won't need to
install the high wattage bulbs, they work so well that
you won't notice if the regular headlights are on or
off.

I would recommend installing the relay to remove the
low beam current from the headlight switch and keep it
from melting.
