The firebird front end was designed with only two headlight bulbs. Have you split the front light harness out into four connectors?

I do not believe I have, I just simply plugged single lights in for now but splitting should work, correct?

You'd probably be better off building your own headlight harness with larger gauge wiring and relays run directly off the battery. Just use the factory wiring to trigger it.

This sounds really interesting. I was actually thinking about if anyone's ever done it. Mind posting some pictures?

I've been trying to figure out if it was possible or not did it just bolt right up or did you have some modification that had to be done. Thank you
