A guy who I can't remember tested the output using a lumen meter before and after harness. 40% difference with just the harness.

Given some of the problems people have reported with the cheap Chinese relays in the Putco harness, I think I'd try that harness Cruiser is using instead. And for half the price!

Those will blind other drivers, because there is no cut off. A proper retrofit is the only safe way to run HIDs.
