These aren't a "cheap alternative".....$40 a bulb, give/take

why do they say upgraded wiring and relays are needed? I am in the dark so to speak when it comes to anything electrical or related to wiring.

You should look at two specs for the bulbs. First look at the amp draw to see if the circuit can handle it. A few extra shouldn't hurt, but some bulbs are 3x stock. Second, look at the color rating. Color is rated in degrees Kelvin. Stock bulbs are 2500-3000K which is the yellowish light. At 5-6,000K you will get a very white light which is much more visible at the same wattage. These ratings don't change the actual temperature of the bulb, just the color of the light.

12 volts, 100 watts 8.33 amps
you are asking the wiring to carry an extra 66% load, and with the price of copper these days nobody is designing in that amount of overbuild into a wiring harness or the connectors and plastic around the connectors may not take the heat as they too may be undersized for the current draw and the plastic may not be rated fr the heat.
Personally I have a SilverStar bulb in my 03 Glide, and it is so bright I took the driving lights off the bike and never use the spots
