Re: Has anybody used custom headlights?

Make sure you do the wiring mod if you do put any of these new fandangled bulbs in lol. There is a wiring diagram on here somewhere you can search out but it is pretty much just putting your existing headlight wire to a relay and wiring a larger gauge wire direct from the battery to now power your new lights. The new bulbs pull more power and will not me good for your wiring. Plus it will give your lights a full 14V and make them brighter. This is a great mod to do even with your old lights, makes your lights much brighter!!
