I need to find out what I do have, as I bought them from Mid AMerica years ago. No relays etc.I have Sylvania 9003 ST2 bulbs. 65/72 watts.
They replaced the osram hb2 9003 L germany bilux 60/55w bulbs that I bought with the glass headlights that replaced the plastic factory headlights.

I have a write up somwhere in my computer and I think this is what they were talking about.
