RE: Hella headlight question

["Brubaker, John" <JBrubaker@AMF.com>]

Can someone please explain this entire "relay" system thing (in relation to 
the headlights).  I am no electrician.  I have learned quite a bit about my 
car in the last couple of years, but the electrical end of it still has me 
a little clueless.  Please be as specific or as general as you would like.

Most likely they are higher wattage insides and lower wattage
ousides(bulbs are different, lenses the same)...I think these sets came
with special relays and instructions...because my H1 Highbeams didn't fit
the normal wiring plug(and probably pulled to much juice for the normal
system)....Use your original wires as triggers for relays right off the
battery and you'll have a bright as hell nice looking system!
