melted headlight harness.

Does anybody know how to replace the driverside headlight harness?? How much will the harness cost? Is it hard to replace? THanks for the help in advance.

Southwestautoworks has the headlight harnesses (Nokya) for about 15.00 for both. Its recommended if u use higher wattage bulbs. It isnt hard at all, takes about 10 mins

you can buy a new harness at autozone or pepboys for about $3 bucks. You will need to cut your stock harness and wired your new one with the stock wires. And remove your super ultra white headlights and will save your next harness

yea you can get them at any auto store really for under $10. People do not learn......you can use a hyper white healdight, just as long as it is not high wattage! If it is buy new high heat harness and do it correctly.

very easy.......tape some wire together and you have it done!

make sure you line up the colors of the harness correctly as well. IMO, save yourself a couple packs of bulbs and harnesses and get HIDS.
