I know there have been a few post about this recently. Ive had a good look through the search section, found some answers, but nothing conclusive.
Ive seen these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4604723529&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
and wondered if they would be safe to install without upgrading the lighting circuit. there seem to be mixed views on this, some say it will be fine, others dont.
those who are running 100/90W bulbs or higher could you shed any light on this, or if uve had any problems?

Alrite then, Cheers for that. I take it an auto ectrician would be able to wire in some slightly heavier duty wire in with some relays? Any more points of view on this?
