Yeah, just consider upgrading the relays. I have heard the supplied ones take dives pretty quickly.

Oh okay I hadn't heard that before. I'll definitely look into that though. Any idea where I can find some upgraded ones?

The shack of radios.

Don't ask me what kind to get, I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. :/

I decided a week ago. I just kept it quiet.

I actually have these in my hands. If tonights low wasn't going to be single digits they would be on by tomorrow.

Cruiser’s Headlight Upgrade Harness Instructions
　
　
Absolutely plug and play. Remove grille and headlamp bulbs. I fed my harnesses from the passenger side starting between the battery and the back of the headlamp housing, over to the driver side. Plug the driver side bulb into the new harness. Attach the new harness's ground wire under one of the small bolts on the radiator support after scraping the paint off under it. Attach the harness to the existing harness behind the grille working toward the passenger side. . Plug the new harness plug into passenger headlamp. Plug original headlamp plug into receptacle on new harness. Attach the ground for the passenger side just like you did the driver side under a radiator support bolt. Attach relays with provided bracket on the passenger side inner fender. Connect power wires to battery.

I've only used the eautoworks/putco/lmc harness with the six pins. Had no trouble even with 90/100 bulbs.

I never had to upgrade my relays. Mine's been on a couple of years on the "insert manufacturing company here" relays that came with the lmc harness.

Well now I'm getting mixed reviews.

And I am pretty sure my relays only have 4 pins.
