for the guys who have done the conversion, How did you get your power to the relays? I want to maintain as close to factory look as I can. I want to conceal the conversion as much as possible.
Starter relay works just fine.

are these the lights your talking about?

Looks correct for the 7" (2 headlight) Hella E-code version in discussion here.

btw, wire size is not an issue with the existing stock setup. 16g feeds the lights. the real issue is all that resistance because the factory didn't use relays and old wiring. look at newer cars...my 99 grand prix uses 16g for the lights.
Keep in mind wire has voltage drop, the higher the current the more voltage drop for a given wire diameter per foot. A four headlamp Hella system with standard sized bulbs(2 55/60 watt H4s and 2 60watt H1s), on high beam will pull about 17amps of total current, considerably less voltage drop on a 12ga wire than on a 16ga.
H4 and H1 bulbs are available in wattages that will simply melt 16 gauge wiring.
