Are those relays Bosch brand? I haven't been able to find any relays under $20...so my relays are still the cheapo ones that came with my harness.

go to the junk yard and find a hard top sebring and on the firewall there are 3 relays, cut them out, solder new wires and they only charge like $5.00, if you want some let me know and I can get a set, I used them for my accessories and I just got a set for my lights

Another option is to use a power distribution box from another car. In the 86 I used an sn95 box for the cooling fan, and headlights. (Attached to drivers side strut tower like the SN)

very nice, I thought of that but that looked like a lot of wiring.

Last time I ordered the Bosch relays they were about $3 each and I ordered a box of 50.

Here is the wiring diagram for the way I wired my lights up. I put the factory wire colors on there as well but this is for an '83. It should be pretty easy to figure out with a test light so I would do that to make double sure its correct on your car.

The standard H4 bulbs are 100W on the high beam side and 80W on low beam side. So it pulls 160W on low beam and 400W on high beam.

I think they sent me something lower wattage, my low beams are low, I will have to try another bulb in one and see. By the pics, my high beams look like your low beam

Did you rewire them with relays? Call who you bought them from and see which bulbs they shipped with. Another thing to check is the grounds. If they are not 100% them the light output will suck.

Standard H4 bulbs are 55/65W. Those you have aren't street legal. They are for offroad use only.
