Yeah, I know. Back in the days when I had time to actually play video games, I would pre-study the player's guide before I dove in.

No matter how many times I studied that guide, it didn't make sense until I was actually in the game. Otherwise, I really didn't have a frame of reference.

That's what I was thinking of when I made that earlier comment.

You're missing some back story. Her headlight switch and connector recently burned up and had to be replaced. She's already been in there. We know there's resistance built up in that circuit because she's already been dealing with it. The relay harness is the next logical step in making it reliable.

The way eBay's parts lookup works would make the seller have to list practically every car ever made in order for eBay to know what all it fits.

Ok, I just bought the one in the link from Cruiser's write-up, and it's an H4. Thanks.

Hey guys, had some issues with the part. We received the wrong part the first time. Then I re-ordered. My son wanted to tackle this one on his own…no more flickering lights!! Thanks guys!!

Sorry guys I didn't forgot to update you on my flickering situation. I just wanted to wait a while to see if everything's fixed. It turns out that it was my headlight harness. I brought a new one, installed it, boom. My headlights have no longer given me any problems. Thank you all for your contributions. Have a good one.
