    So the stock wiring should be fine for the additional power needed for the H4 bulbs? At the moment I just have the low beams converted to H4's but they look so good on the truck I'd like to convert the high beams as well just so they match.

    So I went ahead and upgraded to H4's for the low beams. I've adjusted them a much as I can and I feel like it's just too much glare. It feels like I'm running high beams. I'm wondering if I should just switch them out for something with a projector built in to focus more of the light on the road vs oncoming traffic.

    I purchased the Hella H4's if anyone is curious.

    The housings I have allow me to change the bulb. Do you think I need a different bulb for low beams?
