FWIW, I wasn't all that pleased with the Hellas I bought many years ago.
They looked good at first, but the reflectors dimmed with time and the lens
eventually fell off of one of them (while changing the bulb). Plus I found
this really good deal on some Bosch units:

Haven't tried them yet, but they look good so far. Even have a DOT stamp on
them, which the Hellas didn't.
Relays or not, be sure you get as much voltage as possible to the
headlights. Even 0.1 volt can make a visible difference in light output. I
found that I am losing voltage in both the original bulb connector, and the
original ground connection, as well as through the wiring and switches. As
a result, at the moment, the side with relays is actually dimmer than the
side without!
