AND, .............keep scheming up new electro-gadgetimusitus projects!
Many of us love stealing your ideas! hahaha.

So, why the headlight harness upgrade? Cuz our wiring is like something out of a 20's house? hahaha...(all hard and crumbling! ESPECIALLY back east, right?) .....
Or, are you kinda getting it ready for both... the 'upgrade' and 'eventually upgrading the lights, all together' ..........?????
I was thinking of running those roundeyes kits...... but I've heard mixed things about 'how worth it it really is', ya know? Blakefogt seems to love em... Hmmmm. lol.

naw, just upgrading the wiring. the stock circuit uses small wires, tiny switches, and weak connections which result in lower voltage at the lights (dimmer). with my circuit i posted, the full voltage will be able to reach the lights (brighter)
oh, and by the way:

ooooo shiney... and it showed up a day early!... I'm impressed...
I did my headlight harness upgrade and the difference is amazing Mark... there is even less elec. load based on volt gauge evidence.

i still have stock exhaust behind the cat. i actually had to take out the small extension i made. the headers are built for a 12.5" cat, not the old 17" that i had.
pics!
impressions from driving this morning: they're smooth-flowing. i don't really know how to describe it other than that. they do bring out the torque. i was able to accelerate uphill at 30mph in 4th, and getting off the line was quicker, too
