just upgrade the wire harness if u got high watt bulbs...u get better result from the bulb anyways. you definitely need to upgrade when u run 4 100w bulbs at the same time in high beam mode like me

is there an upgrading kit? or do you just put in new thicker wires?

you can buy upgrade wire harness or you can build your own wiring harness. the main goal is use thicker wires of course, its just a matter of finding the best way to do it.

not only do you have to worry about hte wire being thicker, but also the fact that the plastic harness itself will probably melt
