yup,
Always going to be those diehard harbor freight buying, coupon toting, bald tire jalopy driving, toilet paper rationing, water ordering, lunch packing, bargain buyers out there.
Guilty!
I usually go cheap till I see a need to go "better".
This harness was the result of needing to go better.
I bought a cheap eBay harness and after having issues with the expected quality I took a minute to think about it... Do I want to chance it on such an important safety item?
The answer for me was no. I swear I stood there with the cheap harness in my hand I heard in my head "The Darwin is strong with this one".
I actually feel really stupid for buying it in the first place especially since I've had my headlights go out before on the highway.
Imagine driving 70 on a pitch black rural highway going into a slight turn or cresting a hill and your headlights go off. Poof! No low beams, no high beams. Lights out.
you'll experience a diamond-making pucker effect. Or worse. I was lucky AF to have moonlight.
This all boils down to the individual.
Quality or price. We all tend to lean towards one or the other
No judgment.
You know who you are.
I am here if you want a quality harness.
P.s. Thanks tripwire! Glad you like it!89' GW 6BT Cummins

I'm cheap, but not dangerously cheap-lol
Ya know, I've been wanting to build one of these kits myself for a year, but whenever I go to look for/at the parts... I'm just blown away with all the choices and don't know what to go with. I also have no clue where to find headlight sockets, or the adapter that you attach to one of the old sockets (to use as the trigger). So, I never get to it. May just have to get a kit from you Mass. It looks good. I do wonder though- how much does the whole thing cost YOU before building? Just curious. I know you need to (and I believe you should) get something for all the time you spend on these, but I'm just curious.1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer-"Big Jeep"

You're right. It is a good deal if you stick with the stock 35w/65w sealed beams and you're fine with cheap everything including questionable relays. Free country have at it.
But it's kinda like a Mitsubishi driver going to a Lexus dealer and telling everyone what a great deal the 2018 $11,000 78hp Mirage is.
Different strokes for different folks.
Hey you know what else is a good deal? ...a house in Detroit.89' GW 6BT Cummins

Not making a killing lol
Well, I'm interested-even though I'm still running the stock headlights. No current plans to change that part. What I want to change are the so called fog lights. Want to make them driving lights and add some real fogs under the bumper, maybe built into the spoiler.
Side note: There must be a reduction in voltage, as my GW isn't as bright as my XJ, and that has the same exact same lights in it! So there's room for improvement... Gotta wait though until I get some extra funding.Last edited by ZackN920; 01-16-2019, 11:48 PM.1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer-"Big Jeep"

I'm actually much lower than $16/hr if you factor in the forum time, research/development, and part procurement
That would be kinda interesting mounting fog lights in the spoiler. I agree though, definitely a problem if the lights aren't as bright. I had a sizable voltage drop on mine. My low beams were marginally better than daytime running lights. Well if you're low on cash you can try making a harness based on the diagram I posted in the vendor section. Maybe you have some parts laying around to make it work89' GW 6BT Cummins

Mass, no need to defend. The research, development, tweaking, retrying, getting parts, boxing and shipping the finished product, that all takes time away from family, friends, work, other projects and hobbies... thank you for taking a stab at it. And if you make a buck, good for you. Charity is all well and good but it doesn’t typically put food on the table. Certainly not a narrow niche like this.
If someone’s got an issue, they can just make their own or buy a pos on eBay.
I can’t believe this is even being discussed. Gimme a break.1980 Cherokee WT
