I made my own using 14g wire and def worth it! Lights are much brighter.
But I had to remove my daytime running light module (Canadian truck) the highbeams relay was freaking out lol

i followed this writeup. except i used #12 gauge wire not 14
when you get the relays make sure they are the ones with 2 #87 terminals and NOT the ones with 87 and 87a
the one with 2 #87 - both 87 get power at same time when relay is energized
one with 87 and 87a - one is on and the other is off. when relay is energized they switch.

i think it was worth it. but as mentioned above it you have daytime running lights youll have to unplug the module.
the daytime running lights are just the high beams on half voltage... well the half voltage isnt enough to switch the relay so the relay just freraks out clicking on and of rapidly
