You should also install headlight replays to protect your turn signal stalk. Sadly, the kit offered here (or by Marcus Sucro) is not plug and play for our long noses. To relay or not to relay? H4 Headlight question If you are comfortable doing your own wiring, I posted an electrical diagram of how to wire them up for our cars here: Early Indicator/Headlight Combo Switch

If you already have h4 assemblies, you may simply need to remove the bulbs and clean out the insides/reflectors (I used rubbing alcohol and rice, shook the mixture around and then rinsed out a few times) to get them bright and shiny. I ended up installing relays and 80watt low/100watt high beam h4 bulbs when I replaced my original sealed beams with 7" round cibies -- if you already have h4 assemblies, you may simply want to upgrade bulbs and install relays? |

For normal 55/60w bulbs? Relays are a good idea, but not absolutely required. Should be plug-n-play.
