    Why the need to go a 90/100 on your main lights?

    Y60 and Y61 Patrols don't have Headlight Relays.

    If you mean "do you need to upgrade TO Head light Relays (both lo and hi) for 90/100 bulbs the answer is Hell Yes.

    Personally I wouldn't touch them tho, as I find +90 or +100 Narva or Philips in standard legal wattage are great

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Piranha sell a headlight upgrade loom,
    but wouldn't be hard to knock one up yourself.

    OOI has anyone actually melted their headlights yet,
    using higher wattage globes?

    I was unable the impression that if you go bigger globes a wiring upgrade would help.
    Maybe something like this.

    Is that over priced?
