Default do i need to replace the relay in order to replace my stock headlight bulbs?
i bought new headlights, and i wanted to replace the factory bulbs with the brighter silverstar bulbs, 9007 type, and i was told i would have to replace the relay because the factory ford bulbs are 40 watt and the silverstar bulbs are alot more...however there was nothing on americanmuscle.com about replacing the relay, and people there said they replaced the bulbs and were happy with them...should i replace the relay or not?
