Please, does anyone know this? All I want is the high power harness that connects to the back of the bulb, that you have to splice into your headlight wires. I think I got my last ones at JC Whitney but I can't remember, and couldn't find them there.

the only problem with this is that there are still weak wires after the harness. in order for it to really work, you would need to re-wire the whole thing all the way from the headlight to fusebox(?) or wherever it goes to. iirc....

Actually you could get a harness that uses relays so that the stock wiring only needs to carry enough power for a signal and the power for the bulbs comes off the battery

We sell the Nokya harnesses which involve splicing 3 wires per harness. Generally with PIAA bulbs, you will not need to upgrade your harnes..

buy noyka bulbs, theyll problaby last the same length as the PIAA's, i know people who have had both and the Nokyas are supposedly alot better. i did the 9007 conversion then got nokyas and they were pretty good. and they ran $20 a set

DEFINATLEY look into them instead of PIAAs

well, I should let you know they are going in a 91. Should that be an issue?

buy a reall harness or dont buy anything at all

most people buy off eBay, though you can find these at almost every auto parts store.
