Question What is needed to run higher wattage (100w) bulbs??

I've been reading about the Hella FF75 housings and am considering purchasing them and read on here that the 55w bulbs that come with the kit are weak and would not help much.

What kind of relay or wiring kit do I need to run 100w bulbs with the FF75 and where would I find it? If I also replace the high beams, do I need to upgrade the wiring for them too?

Thanks!!

Trust me, an upgraded harness will do wonders for the lights. If you do upgrade the highs, you will need another harness for that one too. I didnt get mine there, but http://www.painlesswiring.com/ has the harnesses you need for a pretty good price. If you get the ff75's, get two h7 harnesses.

Did you find the H7 harnesses on that site? I just checked and the only one I could find was the H4 harness, it was under "Relay Kits and Accessories"...maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot?

Thanks for the help!!

Let me see if I understand...if I want to run 100w bulbs, all I need, other than housings and bulbs, is that Heavy duty H7 harness? If so this may be easier than I thought.

Thanks!
