lmc HD headlight harness..

[mankypro]

Do what is the consensus? Which bulbs are the brightest? Should I use the LMC white halogen bulbs or go with the Silverstars?

 

[razorback]

ill try and do a side by side tonight..

Actually, SilverStars are Junk compared to real bulbs.

Hella bulbs from ralleylights.com, Narva's, or Osram Night Breakers. Now we're talking lights!

where at?? thanks

Would these be the HD harness, part # 47-3661 below?

If so, how fat are the wires, 12 gauge?

I have a LMC relay kit here, and the wiring is 12 and 10 gauge. 12 for most of the wiring and 10 for the grounds. Kinda surprising that the grounds are bigger than the power wires?

I'd say go for the lmc's with the xenon bulbs for grins.

My bosses son in law has a set of hid kits that came out of his prelude. Actually NCheek might even know him also being as he is from Orange. I'm going to try and get them off him after the first of the year. As to the cloudy lenses I use Meguiars plastic polish and a powerball in my drill on slow. It does an awesome job on the lights. I'll try to post pics after I get done doing the ones on the crew cab. As to the harness kit from LMC I have made them for years for folks usually for around 30 dollars but they are all 10 gauge you just have to plug the wires into the light bulb individually.

After reading all this info on this kit and the simplicity of installation, I just went and ordered the kit. When I get it, I'll get before and after pics, even though by the time I get to it, 5 people or so will already have pics loaded and everything. lol

Please do so, I'd like to see what's in that kit, as I really don't feel like messing with building a harness like that myself (I've done enough of those jobs already, lol)

buy one or build one, it will save you from the headlight switch meltdown that is inevitable. the bonus is brighter headlights!

Well, I got he kit and it was easy to install. But I'm having some issues. First, I have no bright lights, I hit the dimmer switch and they go out. Next, they only work intermittently like sometimes they turn on and I can turn them off, and can turn them right back on, but sometimes they wont work at all......I'm stumped.

And the package it came in was kinda suspicious...things were misspelled, and the thing had more Chinese drawings than words.


Any help?

Do you have any pictures of the kit you bought? I bought a headlight harness from DFUSER(click link). I figured it was the same kit LMC sold. My kit didnt have any mispelled words or chinesse drawing...I had it installed in about 10 minutes and it has worked great ever since.

Heres a picture of the kit from dfuser.

^^^ Yours is obviously for the newer style system being it has the different headlight plugs.

Farmboy, check to make certain you have good contact between your factory light plugs and the harness plugs. If you're getting good contact there, maybe replace the relays with better ones, not sure what brand is the best anymore, but the ones that come with the kit I'd imagine aren't the most expensive on the planet.
Its a pretty redundant system to be honest, the only possible problems you could have would be connection issues or relay issues.
