any good?...better than frying your stock harness...

hard to install? no...go to www.maximadriver.com and go to the "How2" section...there is a diagram of how to install it..

problems? yes...a few of us have gotten kits with bad relays...no biggie though...just send it back and get a new one..

i didn't notice any difference in light, but i like the assurance it's not going to burn out my stock wiring anytime soon.

Maybe there's something up with my car but I am on my second wire hareness. The first one burned and the relays were bad, so I sent that one back and got another one. The new one got a little bit burned and my right headlight is dimmer then my left, I guess it's just some loose wiring or something. So my experience with the APC wire harness is not a good one.
As far as the install, it's a piece of cake. Very easy.

when running higher wattage headlight bulbs the very thin stock wires and socket have a tendency to melt/over heat.
the upgraded harness have thicker wire that can sustain higher wattage and heat w/o melting.
