Scroll down, first mod is a relay conversion set up. I did mine using one relay for each low beam; and one relay for each pair of high beams (4 total). I used 10g wire for hots/grounds and an 8g to power the relays. Set things up to minimize wiring runs. I have 0.00v drop from the alternator to the bulbs. And the relays are 'triggered' by the stock headlight wiring set up -- so only relay contact current flows through the stock system/switches. Works brilliantly.
