With the reduced amperage of led tail lights, and LED headlights u dont need a relay system.   In my opinion.  Of course you have to like the look of LED headlights.

C @crackedback thanks for the information. Where can members get more details on the kit you provide?

I have indeed gone in a different direction, but we all know how often that great stuff you purchased on Amazon arrives as garbage at your door. Ask me how I know  :'(

I'm keeping my options open.

I disagree that LED don't require a relay kit. 

Any time you can take headlight load off the OEM harness, it's a good thing.  Reduced LED load or OEM, getting that off the bulkhead, switch, wiring helps the system.

New cars don't run headlight load off the switch, there is a better path.  Just my 2 cents

Pick your part, pay your money!

Update for anyone watching/interested...

Before ordering, I called the technical service number for Octane Lighting. The person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions; most importantly these lights had no obnoxious cooling fans. This helped me decide on their kit which I purchased from Amazon (link in previous post).

After resolving a few problems with the car (wrong headlight buckets, broken headlight adjusters, cracked headlight retaining rings...) I got the lights installed. I'm happy with the result.

I'm still waiting for a nice (aka warm) day to properly aim them, but can already see they are significantly brighter and not some weird blue color.

In short, I'd recommend these lights to anyone looking for a plug and play LED upgrade at a reasonable price.
