grey market and headlights

I recently purchased a set of Euro H4's for my '84 Cab. I did this to get it back to stock trim,...well at least as it was when new as a ROW car. I know it is sensible to install a relay with any higher wattage bulb, but do you all know if the Euro cars already had an appropriate relay? Seems they are more inclined to use higher wattage bulbs over there, so I was kinda thinkin' maybe something already exits.

Also, I am planning on connecting the "city lights" and I know I have the existing wiring,..but does anyone know what the proper bulb and wattage is for this thing?

THANKS!!
Rich

I used the same bulbs as the parking lights for the "City Lights" bulb socket. You can then either delete the sidemarkers as I did (or I suppose you could add new wires from there to the city lights and have both running since the wattage of both bulbs is so small)
The city lights are great to have by the way, a real class act....recomendo!

No relays. City light bulb is a european 4 watt bulb (can't remember the exact type of bulb though).

limble: do a search for "city lights" and you will find more than you ever wanted to know about them.
