Hi,

I put the H-4's in my 69 roadster. They work just fine without any mods at
all. I also ran a pair of PIAA 510 fogs. The neat thing about this setup is
that the fogs have their own wiring harness and don't put the extra strain
on the stock wires. Power is drawn directly from the battery. However,  you
can hook the switching wire into the stock fog light wire and use the stock
switch. This combo of the H-4's and these fogs are like daylight when I flip
on the high beams. I love em.
