    I plan on removing the halogen H4/9003 bulbs and replace them with H4 LEDs.
    Do I need a driver for the LED? I plan on using some CREE 80W bulb equivalent to this.



    I just don't know if I need those relay-harness cables. Considering the bulb should be a direct replacement for the socket.

    Do I need anything except the LED bulbs?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    you should find that they just plug in, however they may not be bright enough, and the light pattern produced may not be very good either.....

    just my thoughts on the matter...

    Doubt your going to need the harness and would be a pain to wire in. However the stock bulbs are only 60W. Buy them and let us know how it goes..take comparison shots..b4..& after.
