So, when Tony rewired the car as part of our rebuild, he put new and
separate 40a relays on both the reg and high beams. So I think we are good
there. Will likely just do the easy Sylvania swap.
Any advice on getting the chrome headlight ring off without damaging it?

Hi Steve,
When I had the Pantera, I installed the Rick Moseley relay kit.A
Itas mounted to the back of the front trunk right behind the
battery.A One purpose of that kit is to reduce the load on the
switch ( which I had to replace shortly after buying the car ).A I
had planned to eventually replace the headlights myself but never
did ( not enough nighttime driving ).
On the Mach I, I ran halogens from Sylvania.A I loved them.
