Default Halogen to LED Question

Just got a bunch of LED offroad lights for Christmas and will be converting all my KC halogen lights to the new LED's. The LED's came alone without any kit. Just wondering if I'll be able to keep all my current routed wiring in place?

I wouldn't see wht not. The LEDs should draw much less current, possibly why there was not kit since relays might not be needed on a fresh install.

Very cool indeed. Took me a long time wiring everything up nicely, hate to have to do it all over again.

Worst case scenario I figure I may just need a harness. Anyone know where exactly I'd have to put something like that? Splice it right in there?
