Subject:      Rewiring for Xenon lights

Howdy volks-

Getting ready to swap-out the OE hard-to-see-at-night headlights with some
hi-intensity Xenon bulbs.

Lost a previous email where I discussed this one-on-one with a list member.

I know that I have to re-wire the headlights so that they don't fry the
wiring.

What guage should I use? I want to support the load, but don't want to go
too low.

Also, do I need to worry about the headlight housing/cover being damaged?
