If your wiring is in good shape, and you stick with standard 60/55watt bulbs,
then the stock system can handle it. If your lights are dim, your wiring
heats up when using the high beams, or you want higher wattage bulbs, then
you'll need to install relays to drive the new lights -
http://www.rallylights.com/useful_info/headlamp_wiring.htm has the diagrams
you'd need.

As an add on to this, do the Non-sealed beam headlamps add any additional
drain to the electrical system, I have often thought about adding these but
was not sure of the power drain

Dave,
These guys http://www.rallylights.com/hella/7in.asp had the best prices
and
selection of bulbs I could find when I bought the Hellas for the "R".
They
offer H4 bulbs with different gas mixtures to achieve differing levels of
"whiteness". I bought the 30% Xenon and am quite happy with them - the
light is crisper than the standard H4's I have in our 280Z.
