We're all running around in circles..all good stuff... but not "focused" answers.
1.) Whether stock wattage or not, the car benefits from a relay set up because you avoid the stock set-up ( which is fairly stupid) of running full amp current thru the dinky steering column switch. This switch then..over time...malfunctions and wants to weld itself together. Simple relay basics, you use a low draw "control" circuit to switch the high-draw headlight circuit on/off. The control citcuit will draw maybe 1/100 ( or less) of the power it originally had ....and your stalk-switch will be forever happy.
2.) Adding a relay circuit...like the Sucro kit.....is simply disconnecting some stock wires from their normal locations and running them in concert with the kit wiring. No "Hacking" at all !. Fully reversible ( but why?)
3.) You don't need to upgrade the factory "feeder" wires that run directly to the headlights if you retain stock bulbs or go as high as 100 watt. I've spoken to Marcus Sucro about such things and he even bench tested temp rises of stock wires and you're fine. No question, heavier gauge is "better", and is recommended if you push 130W or so.
