Nicely done Steve. With the wiring it will be more than adequete to run 100w bulbs. The 10g wiring should be able to support up to 400w total, even 120w bulbs bring you to less than 3/4 of the load rating.

Some interesting details about the IceShark wiring, Dan used 4g wire for the feed off the alternator. You could support up to 900w roughly at 12v. That is really overkill considering the highest wattage bulb you can find (which would have to be mail ordered probably) is 120w. However Dan's kit had a provision to rewire the fog lights also, this is mostly important to the turbo's that can run the euro driving lights and fogs at the same time (its all one housing). If you wanted to rival daylight, you could hookup 100w driving lights, 100w fog lights and regular 100w headlights.

Dan told a story a few times of how he was pulled over going very fast (i seem to remember 150mph) in his 951 in the middle of night in a pretty isolated area. He was running the setup i mentioned above, 600 total watts of lighting power. This was the original wiring kit he did for himself before he started making them for everyone. Anyhow, he passed a police officer while slowing down and imediatley pulled over. The police offer was more interested in the lights he was running as he thought a jet airplane was landing on the highway. He ended up getting out of the ticket by explaining everything he had done to get that kind of lighting output!
