Seriously, feel how hot your fusebox is getting with these new headlights.

May 19, 200519 yr comment_124529 escanlon installed the wireing loom that Dave makes and I think it increased his brightness by 40% . Dash lights and tail lights as well . Just installing the new wireing . I have the same set up in my Z but I havent powered it up yet. I did install the high wattage bulbs , Krypton 90s I think . With only about 5 amps going to the switch all should be good.
