RE: FW: Headlight Question

David:
I have always assumed the same thing.

The current draw for regular H4 halogen headlights is not much more than the 
less efficient sealed beam units.  I have never run into anyone having problems 
with overloading the wiring or switches if they were working ok with the 
original lamps.

I would suggest if you care enough to install better lights, also take the time 
to ensure that all the wiring contacts and grounds are in good condition.
