    run a headlight relay setup and you should be able to run just about any bulbs out there with no danger.

    Depends on how much wiring you want to do. All the relay does is allow you to use small voltages/currents to switch a larger voltage/current (you energize the relay by turning an OEM switch (stalk) and it closes a circuit to whatever you want to power - lamps, horns, audio, etc.)

    Check out OEM sites for performance lighting - ie. Hella, PIAA, etc.

    EX. http://www.hella.com/produktion/Hel...ProductsServices/PDF/wiring_sch_aux_lamps.pdf

    Wiring diagram is for auxillary lighting - useful for running high powered lamps that would burn up OEM wiring.
