With no disrespect to the vendor, I would not buy these and expect to have everything there to have relays for your lights. The price is right for some relays and the holders, but that is about all that you are getting.

The thing that you really need is to have relays AND get rid of skinny wires. You need a big wire running to the positive terminal of the battery to the front of the vehicle where they go directly to a relay and then directly to the lights. I have used some water proof Bosch relays behind the grille and have used the original headlight connectors to trigger the relays. 8g wire from the battery to the relay and 12ga wire to the lights.
