I don't know how good those lights are but I do recommend fitting via a relay - especially as relays are only about a fiver.

Had mine on for two years,, one failed due to water getting in so put a bit of sealer around the lens and all should be well. Fit a relay best to be safe

A bit of a hijack I know, but if I look at the spikes (intended typo) long enough I can see them starting to rust.
