I agree with Paul on the quality of Cibie replacements. I've used them and
wow!. Hella is also another brand with excellent quality. I am not familiar
with the brand you are looking at,but I would caution on using off brands.
You will be impressed with any halogen replacement, but a good quality lens
will be even more impressive.

Cibie can be bought thru Daniel Sterns Lighting, not cheap, but the end
quality is one of the best. There is also a huge volume of lighting tech
there too.

Also regarding use of relays, pull your power supply off the alternator or
the battery connection at the starter with an independant fuse on that
line. I'm a 510 guy at heart and that is what I did when rewiring my
headlights. Those cars use a switched ground, which makes you think a bit
when wiring the relays.
