Headlight setup?

85_ss, did your h4 set up come with the wiring diagram?? did you have to replace the headlight wiring all the way back to the fuse box??

all the sets are plug and play....you just plug the connector from the HID into your lite socket, attach a ground wire and a hot wire for the relays that come with the kit and that's it. I am running 4 hid's so I had to move one of the wires in the hid connector for the high beam socket. I think it was the ground wire I had to move

So how are these lights compared to the Sylvania Silverstar sealed beams... (what I have on my Cut)..? Mine are pretty bright, but what are these like?

I ran the silverstars for a while. They are stronger than a stock lite but they have a concentrated beam to get you the extra distance down the road but the light for the sides isn't there so cornering around a long bend like an entrance ramp for a highway it's noticeable. There is nothing comparable to the HID plus with the time they last their price is comparable with the price of the best halogen lite.

Quick question. I've got an '85 Monte Carlo SS and I bought a set of the hyper white xenon lights from prostreetlighting. We just tapped into the existing harness and all the connections were very secure with wire nuts and then electrical taped for extra weatherproofing. After a couple of weeks, my headlight switch blew, so I replaced it and the new switch is smoking and getting hot after being on for only 20-30 seconds. Are these lights pulling too much power or is there something else I should be checking? The wiring from the harness to the switch looked to be in good shape with no bare wires.

you need to install a relay in the wiring for the lights. It's pretty simple to install and don't buy the kits since they overcharge you for a couple of relays worth a few bucks each.

Are these relays something I can pick up right at Autozone?

Better yet, what relays do I need and how do I wire this all up?
