Default Simple and quick H4 conversion question.

Been running H4s in cheap housings for a ling time.

Finally did the Autopal E code and harness today.

WOW!!!!!!

Easy question, since the harness has no fuses should I add one??

Have any of you???

What do you think a lightbulb is? In the event of a short the bulb will blow and kill the circuit.

HA!!

Never thought of it that way! Of course, I'd rather blow a .50$ fuse than a $15 light bulb.

So you like the light output? Your headlight switch also thanks you for not cooking it some dark night.

The only ones who doubt the value of the harness are those who haven't done it. Even on stock headlights I'd say the output increases about 30%.
