I plugged my IPF H4 headlights right into the stock wiring connectors and they have worked AWESOME for over a year, now. They are a huge upgrade from the old stockers.

I am doing a test with a heavy duty harness...from LMCtruck for a chevy with sealbeams.
I plan to have it in this weekend....and test it......reason I am trying this is the harness shipped was $40...compared to other I have seen for our jeep for $70+. I figured I would be the test rat on this one and report how it goes....I have IPF headlights coming also....and going to put in 80/100 watt bulbs.
Here is a pic....

How did the installation of the 90/100 harness from LMC truck work out for you ? I just made the same purchase, so we will see. I will also post, when installation is complete. Should arrive within the week, so we will see.

The harness alone will increase light output
Here is my set up with 55/60 Osram bulbs Light output will increase when I put in new bulbs.

and with stock harness and same bulbs one stock sealed beam/one Cibie

I have less than $150 in my set up
Do it right and do it once.
