Thats what I did on my 4000. It worked out just fine. I beefed up the
cable, and ran relays. I just used the high beam voltage from the stock
wire to trigger the field of the relay. Be sure to Run about 10 AWG wire,
since 100W is about 8AMPS. If doing a home run from hte battery dont
forget to fuse it.

P.S. It makes a BIG difference. Good luck
