Replacement headlights

Thanks Everybody.

Ok, I received the headlight kit yesterday evening and installed them. It was a straight forward deal with no mods required. The wattage of the new units are 55/60 and the OEM units are 40/55, if I remember correctly. Anyway, I did not use relays, as I felt my wiring harness was sufficient to handle the additional load. Be aware that when I went through the entire car a year or two ago I also made sure my wiring harnesses were in good condition. Basically repairing or replacing old corroded connectors and or corroded wires. Let's see....each headlight is on a 10 amp circuit and with a maximum wattage of 60w for the new units, that equate to a 5amp current draw for a 12vdc system. I think I'll be OK! I started the Z and turned the lights on high beam for at least 1/2 hour to proof test the install. Just before I turned them off, I went around and felt the wiring, connectors, and fuse box for any indication of excessive heat. All was well! I do think that if I had gone with headlights rated higher than 60w, I would have gone the route of relays. The light emitted from the new units is definitely whiter and brighter than stock. I'm pleased with the results anyway!!! Also, if you look at the new lamps straight on, turned off of course, you see an almost black lense with a silver center diffuser.......looks kind of cool to me.......maybe a little more modern if you will!
