Default Retrofit setup - quick question

Going to make a set of bi-xenon FX-R retrofits projectors as a project for me.

Just want to verify that 50w bulbs and ballasts and the wire harness relay h13/9008 are all ok to run with our trucks (2012 xlt here).

Thanks

Not a problem, will work great with your truck. Just keep in mind that 50W ballasts reduce bulb life by 25%, otherwise that's it! We'll need Pictures and complete write up as you complete the process.

Good to know, thanks. Based on that do you think 50W is generally the better way to go despite the shorter bulb life?

Pictures will be posted of course. I'm not sure when I'll get around to this, could be a few weeks easily.
