So does this kit come with one relay for the low beams and one relay for the high beams? Or are there 4 total?
Two relays, one for low beam, one for high beam.
Also, what is the purpose of the new headlamp sockets? Will the old ones not work???
Can the old ones work, sure. If you are going to re-wire, why not upgrade the socket. Do you really want to use/splice into the old wiring? The new ceramics are a much better unit.
Lastly, I see it's pulling power from the alt. Is there one dedicated wire for each relay?
Yes, each relay has a dedicated fused power wire.
So now you've got three terminals attaching to the alt power stud? Yes
Would it be a shorter rout to pull power from the starter relay and not have to go up and around the firewall? Or is this a bad idea???
You could pull it from the starter relay. Only issue with that is the amp load is still traveling along the factory circuit path. Traveling through the ammeter and through bulkhead twice. If you've done the bulkhead wire around, then pulling from the starter relay may not be a bad choice, IF, the charge wire is stout. Most of the wire around methods have a fuseable link which is another area for potential failure.
I've never done this swap before in case you couldn't tell. :laughing:
