My buddy got a new bumper and decided he wasn't going to use them any more. I think i got ripped of cause i only paid $50 bones for them LOL, Anyway they are almost a perfect fit plus there are bright as HELLA. I noticed the bulbs are 80-85 watts and i was wondering if i should use the wiring harness and relay he gave with them or just plug and play? people who have the piaa 510 did you use the harness with the upgrade?

Use the existing wires to power the relay and separate wire fused from bat to power lamps through relay (in case you didn't already know)... PIAA 510 rock though... "My Name is Richard.
