Several options for quad headlights as noted:

*   This is in contrast to quad (i.e. 4) headlights, arranged in a pair (or 2) per side of 
the vehicle. For a quad headlight harness, you have several options:

o One is to keep the original headlight connectors for the high beams and let the original 
system drive them. Relieved of the added load of the primary headlights, the stock wiring 
should work fine with the lesser load.

o Or, use 2 dual harnesses, one for the main lights and one for the 2nd pair.

o Or the other is to splice in a pair of connectors to power the high beams off the 
existing harness.
