   Min is 3 relays (general 30 amp) 3 fuse holders, box o fuses, ring
terminals, female terminals to fit on the spades of the relay (preferable
the plastic coated terminals) 12 guage wire of various colors, red, black,
and 2 others (1 for low and 1 other for high), heat shrink tubing,
possibly solder if you want to solder all your connections too, um, lets
see, what else, oh, some of those tube terminals to connect 2 wires
together, some electrical tape, maybe some of the flex tubing to protect
your wiring.  I think thats about it.  Relays are as cheap as 3 bucks,
fuse holders around 2 bucks, fuses around 2 bucks, terminals 2 bucks, heat
shrink around 2 bucks, so basically, around 30 bucks in parts.  Tack on a
little more if you do a 4 relay setup.

    Pretty much same as above but look at spending 35 to 40 for each
lense with bulb depending on the wattage you want.  H4s come stock with
55/60 and H1s come stock with either 55 or 60.  If you able to find
someone who will switch out bulbs look at spending about 4 bucks more for
like 80/100.  IF not, I think those bulbs run around 8 ro 9 bucks.  Keep
in mind it is always a good idea to have spare bulbs should 1 burn out.
