a ? about stock wiring harness and higher wattage bulbs. I did a search too.

I got kind of a simple question. I did a search and found several places on here where it said the stock head light wiring harness is capable of handling 2 130 watt bulbs as long as you put in 30 amp relays. Ok thats cool, but does that mean you can run 2-130 watt bulbs in the low beams and 2-130 watt bulbs in the highs? I just bought a set of 2-100 watt bulbs to put in my Hella FF75's for the Lows and i was wanting to get a set for the Highs also. Would that work if i wire in the relays? I guess i'm wondering when it says on you can run 2-130 watt bulbs on the stock harness is that total or is that just for the highs, and the same amount for the lows. Thanks

If you are properly wiring the relays it won't matter how many bulbs are on or how large they are -as the power will be coming directly from the battery, NOT from the OE wiring. The OEM wiring would only be used to activate the "switch" inside the relay.
