Hi there Christopher
Yes it is the same booster kit you saw but it does say the bulbs are 80
watts each so 160 in total. Now you have me thinking again geese this cant
be good for me old brain. I was going to save this for later whenn i
actually got the kit and then found out I know nothing about it, but I
supose now is as good a time as any. The booster kit will give me extra
power to the head lights will it not with new relays and wires as it says
you will not need anything else with this kit. Go on tell me im wrong again
I cantake it at this stage just once I have a packet of posies at hand. So
will it give me an extra boost of 160 watts or some thing different
altogether. I think at times it was easier when i had only a push bike to
look after.

If that's the wiring booster kit I pointed out to you on Ebay PLEASE
make sure that the main current supply to it has some new relief wiring
from the batteries, or from the power outlet socket in the engine
compartment.
Brighter lights will increase the current consumption and you will be
back to square one, or worse, if you continue to run them directly
through the headlight relay.
And check the capacity of the booster unit too: if it's the same one
that I saw it has a max current rating of 130 watts or so, so two of
your 85 watt upgraded headlight bulbs will be too much for it.
It's the same problem as with your fridge etc, and Roman has spelled it
out perfectly: heavy current items in car electrics need thick wires
with good connections. It should be both easy and cheap for your
pleasant auto guy to sort out both a feed for the lights and for your
fridge, since they are both really the same problem.
