That sounds almost too good to be true. Wouldn't this burn out the lights faster?

no they will only draw what they need. in an effort to save money they used #16 an they dont carry enough power. plus it takes the load off the light switch an stops premature failure on it

Yep. I made a harness out of #10 gauge wire after a pair of relays for low and high beams. I was running some H4 halogen bulbs but now I have LED headlights and there is no need for a bigger harness.

Awesome! Thanks. As I had to recently replace both lights I think I'll just rewire them until the lights go out again. Then I'll upgrade.

@Mortalis5509 Delta lights? What are those?
