results of headlight relays and new bulbs
I ordered a Marcus Sucro relay kit about a year ago and got around to installing it yesterday. It only took about 30 minutes to install and that includes soldering 2 wires. After the relay install I put some Narva 90/100 watt bulbs into my US spec H4's and had a chance to drive at 5:30 this morning and all I can say is WOW!!! I can see much better and the headlights do not seem to dim at idle,this is a easy,cheap and effective upgrade.

you can max out the adjustment by raising the beam a little at a time till they flash you, then lower them.

Is the relay so you can run 90/100's? I thought I caould just change bulbs to an 80/100 from the stock bulb.

relays remove bulb current from the switches. The other thing to keep an eye on is the bulb socket with bigger watt bulbs. Some have reported toasted sockets or fires starting. High temp/watt sockets are available or just remove them and attach wires directly to the bulb till you get them if you see a prob coming.
