is upgrading the headlight wire harness worth it?

my right headlight harness has a loose wire in it....so every once in a while i have to push the wires in a special angle in order for the lamp to go back on...i have been pulled over for not having bohth headlights and so i want to avoid gettin a ticket...

will this wire harness actually be better than stock?

If you are going to upgrade your harness, I would just spend the time and effort to convert it to 9007. Maxima10to1 has a write up of this on the first few pages of the forums. It looks really easy, and will give you a lot better beam pattern, with a lot more light.

Well, what did you decide on?
Are you going to upgrade to the 9007 headlights or what?
