bulb wattage
this weekend im gonna be installing my procomp light bar with two hella 500's and two 700ff's. all have 55w bulbs and that simply wont do. with some searching, summit has h3 bulbs in 100 and 130 watts for around 7 dollars.
put : 100s in all ? 130s in all? 100s in the 500's and 130s in the 700FF? Also, will this be a problem with my alternator?  Thanks yota tech! |

I have 100 watt bulbs in my Hella 500's and 500ff's, work great for me....never had a problem. I don't have any experience with the 130 watt bulbs though.

ok i think im going to run two relays, one for a set of 2 lights. simply cause this is going to be a lot of watts for one little switch. is there a diagram showing how to wire two relays together? also, will two 30 amp relays do the trick?

two 30amp relays will be fine to run both of them just run the trigger wire off the switch to the relays
