That'll work, with plenty of headroom. I have 2, Im redoing it and going
with 4, just to simplify the wiring. I'll have a low beam relay and a high
beam relay for each side mounted right behind the lights. The relays will
get their signal from the stock low beam connector on each side(this has
high and low beam signals). Other than the short amount of wiring between
the relays and lights, all I have to add is a wire to each side from the
battery(fused, at least 10 gauge). This should simplify number of wires
being run all over the car, and also give you room to expand, in case you
decide you do want to fry retinas;)...
