please help with 9007 bulb conversion...

I am not good with electrical stuff
I bought the 9007 bulbs and the hurness, but the harness has only two sockets and three 3 inch wires on eash socket..., 3 inches are not enough to get it from the headlight to the battery... if i ll cut the old wires, and conect it to the new harness, will it still burn the old wires? even if i ll buy thicker and longer wires... there is still so many wires in that whole bunch... i wouldn't know where it should be connected...

please help...

i am outside at the moment changing my rear o2 sensor... will get back in 30 min to check on this thread... if some one could help with the help 240-838-0553 about the 9007 conversion, please help...

thanks
Serge

i think the big problem is people think that a harness is just the pig tail...hell no! a real harness, the one I made and recomended, replaces all the stock crap giving the most amount of current the bulbs could ever need. Thats for any wattage bulb too. I dont understand why compainies sell "harnesses" that are just the plug! so dumb and messes with everyones head. Any way, if you keep the stock wattage 9007 (55/65) the stock wires will be fine. If not get more wire, some relays, and what not and do the job correctly.

I should have taken a friggin pic of my harness. That would have cleared everything up. The link to Craig's site (in my original write up) has all the info about a custom harness, BUT I think about 5% of the readers actually looked at his page for that info. The they ask the same question over and over and over!

sorry for my rant -Jon

I can't tell if that is a complete harness but it looks like there is enough wires. There will need to be 2 relays for the harness to be good. I got mine from NTBK on ebay. It works great. One of the best mods for the money.
