Given that the total cost to fit 2 relays, 2 fuses and the wiring is about $30 DIY and the advantages are brighter Headlights (you get the full Alternator voltage) and reduced current thru the stalk (IE milliamps instead of 10 Amps) it is one of the first Mods anyone should fit to a GQ.
The second mod would be to rrrsehole the sealed beams and fit semi-sealed with +100 bulbs and you will be amazed how much it improves the lighting.
If anyone does put semi-sealed lenses in... DO NOT put the larger wattage globes (90/100's or 90/130's) unless you mod the wiring. The Stalk Switch and the Earths at the Headlights can't handle the extra current for very long at all.
