[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1216846, member: 15952"] I'm not sure on the amps, but they are stock replacement Sylvania "XtraVision" lights. I have them wired to the high beams only, and although I couldn't find amperage draw on their website and their call center was closed, their site does say 65 watts as opposed to 55 for low beams. No, I'm not sure of this, and that could certainly cause a problem! I tried to match the way I originally saw the lights wired. The power wire went seemingly went into the passenger side plug and then back out the same part of the connector over to the driver. As it sits now, I ran a length of wire from high power out on relay towards the passenger light. Then another length from driver over to passenger light. I took both those ends meeting at the pass light and twisted them together/soldered into a female spade to attach to the high beam prong coming out the back of the light. Power junction block to fuse is 12-14 inches --> fuse to relay is 6 inches --> relay out to passenger light is length of hood from firewall --> length of wire from pass to driver light is length of grill. True, although technically I only have one wire actually coming off my battery which is located in cab. Battery power runs to a junction block on firewall as does alternator and all power is disseminated from there. [/QUOTE]
