30 minutes is all it takes. Just remove the battery so you got more room then take off the headlight surrounds and radiator/condenser fascia.

Well you're going to want to remove the negative strap anyway so move the battery enough with the pos cable still attached and it will be easier

yeah, well you're supposed to put the cable from the harness onto the positive, but I'm just going to put it on the fuse box like I did with my sub cables.

If you're running standard wattage headlamps, there's no need. If you're running those super high wattage, get real hot, wire melting headlamps however, then you need it.

The harness also helps with the voltage drop that is common with xjs. Will make the headlights a lil brighter
