I will piggy back the system, and use 2 relays (appropriate amperage) and use the OEM wires to activate the system, and use power directly from the battery to feed the bulbs. plsu I will put appropriate fuse so that if something bad happens it would not fry the car.
where can I find high quality bulbs, ebay sucks.

Yes I wanted that, but basically, I cannot spend 400 buks on headlights, so I spend 22 buks for 80/100 xenon bulbs with some crap on them

DANGER using anythink above 65/55 bulbs in your USA headlights will couse the head lights to crack.
As I have experienced with 100/80 bulbs.
Now I need to find protective film to put on my lenses so it wont fall apart.

I probably do quad conversion next summer, to get probably 65/55 bulbs in each light, and get 260W low beam and 220W high beam.
there be a problem though, quad lights I dont like, so I have to do something good, else I will hate my self later.
