Headlight Harness Upgrade question
Can I use this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-90...item1e5fb1946b
To do this
http://fitchva.com/jeep/?p=48
I want to run the relays and upgraded wires and I was thinking that I could use spade connectors to tie into the new (ebay harness)
Does this make sense?

i dont see what that one will do. i did the lmc truck harness and it made a huge difference in my lights. i have the hella h4 headlights. before the harness upgrade the lights had a yellowish tint. now they are bright white. the harness was about $45 shipped and worth every penny.

this is the write up. it was super easy. it took longer to remove the light bezels than to install it.

I like to try to make my own stuff if I can, and the link I listed said to get 2 male and 2 female h-4 connectors, so I ordered the one I listed from e-bay since it was cheaper to go that route then but just the plugs
So i will make my own harness since I have ton's of wire, connectors,relays and such.
I will post pictures when I am done, it will all be weather tight and in-cased in black loom
Thanks and I will one day upgrade to the newer style lights with the 9004? bulbs

Ok Update
I made the harness just like the one in the link, all is well but
I turn on the lights good to go then I tried the brights and nothing. I have brand relays 5 pin but i don't think they dpsp.
I picked them up at the local auto parts store, is there a way to fix this or am I with out bright lights? not that I really need brights but..
Thanks
