complete using japan wires...bosch relays....fuses...etc.

ask ronald.

magkano total kung kasama ang all-weather na bulbs?

BTW, can you "paint black" yung HL ng EK?

so how if you put a 100w bulb without rewiring....ano ba mga negative effects? :roll:

installing the relays takes the load of the electricity going to the steering column area. The column switch merely becomes a switch controlling the relays. thus the load of higher wattage will not damage the thinner wires installed the car's original equipment.

sun tzu, without rewiring, you are taking 'risk' that the wires will be able to handle the higher wattage load. if the existing wires 'can't' handle it, it will fry. I had experience of not installing relays and for a few months no problem until i noticed the lamps became dimmer than usual. I had relays installed and the output went back up to the higher output.

gian, price would be around 800 to 1k.

yep! tama si RS Sprint!

pero may question ako, how come when i put my stock H4 bulbs back after having a relay installed, parang lumakas yung buga nya ng ilaw?? :roll:

AFAIK, output is a bit stronger with the wiring kit because there is less resistance on the wiring path between the headlight and your battery; unlike the stock wiring which is longer and thinner and usually shares a common ground with other electrical components in the car.

Correct me if i'm wrong though.

To the rest, thanks for all your inputs! Highly appreciate it.

Speaking of these headlight wiring kits, I went to CATS kanina and OMG nagtaas ata sila ng presyo! P1,800 for a set?! Damn! Mas mura na magpagawa nalang nun kaysa bumili ka pa ng mga kits na iyan siguro!
