Re: headlamp sockets

Hey Guys,

	Just wanted to jump in here.  I have heard much about existing
headlight wiring burning up when putting in higher wattage bulbs.  Many have
upgraded with additional relays and such.  I have a 1995 90 and put 80/100
watt 9004s in 18 months ago and did not change a thing.  Is the wiring on
the newer cars just more robust?  Should I expect a failure of my stock
wiring?  I check the wires/sockets periodically and have found no damage (18
months of heavy use so far).
