does anyone know where i can buy a headlight wire harness for cheap?

my current right headlight harness is messed up....i thihnk some of the wires connecting to the actual headlight lamp is loose....so every once in a while my headlight would go out.....i would have to bend the wires to make the headlight go back on....is there anything i can do or where can i buy one for cheap?


would u guys recommend upgrading the harness so i can use higher wattage bulbs?

one of mine from southwest actually melted and that was after i took out the higher watt bulbs...

i bought a replacement 9004 one at this local speed shop for too much but needed it fast cuz i was driving to another state and didn't want a ticket. laaaaaaater i found the exact same one in autozone for $4 i think.

i heard it does... i dont know for sure... I added the relay the same day my new headlight housings came in, so i couldnt really tell you... I do know they dont dim as much when the bass hits now. but damn did the new housings bring out the color of the lights!!

Skip the SouthWest AutoWorks harness... it's not any better than stock. The Ebay one I got was much improved.
