Yes definitely I just got a 95 f250 7.3 a month ago and am gonna use it for a work truck I'm a stickler about bright lights at night so I bought some Silver Star ultra bulbs but sounds like I need this harness to really take advantage of the bulbs the bronco grave yard site seems like a good price and I've purchased stuff from them before but it's been a good 10 years as I've been driving super dutys the last 10 year but just added this 95 I

My 6.4 was totaled a few years back, so I understand. I have had my F150 for what seems like forever, needed a truck after Harvey...so that is why I am driving this first gen 7.3 now. It needed a few thousand dumped into it (seven good tires was biggest cost) so be 100% durable. New lenses all around is my next thing to do, luckily they are cheap!

Let me figure out how to attach a picture here and I will post them.

Right on. That would be awesome. Ya I still have my 06 f350 and it's a pretty good truck actually I really like it. But I knew I wanted a early 7.3 with a utility bed or a SD 7.3 for a work truck and found this 95. Bronco grave yard has 10 percent off to December 17 so I think I'll get that harness. My light lens are a little yellowed as well but I have a kit that has a buffing wheel that connects to a drill that I'm gonna use to clear them up I hope. Glad you made it safely from Hurricane Harvey!

My F150 ended up with water past the rubber on the windows... so it will be a PITA to get back on the road. We drained the engine and trans as well as the axle. Water poured out for, no joke, three minutes from the trans before ATF came out.

House received 6' for two weeks. No people nor pets hurt, just material crap that can be replaced.

Lets see if these photos attach.

I just ordered Some super bright LED setup. Im not sure if it will be better or not. I hope so as they use very little power so I will not have to do the power mod. Then again imadding a 1200w light bar and 4 150w cube lights in the bumper. I will have more light. Light bar might get me into trouble LOL

Didnt. Not want to go this route after reading a lot of the negatives of Chinese knock off stuff also my own not so great experience with LED as headlights what I found works best for me is a good set of silver star ultra bulbs and after reading the flaw with the factory wiring on OBS trucks is why I went the relay wiring harness route

See, the way these things are advertised just torques me off. 1000 watts? Really? I'm sure they're bright, but wattage isn't a measure of how bright they are, it's a measure of how much energy they consume. If those are actually 1000 watts, they'd burn up every stich of wiring in the circuit because at 12 volts, they'd be drawing 83.33 amps. There's no fuse in the truck big enough to run that kind of load. I'm tempted to try them out, but I'm still curious what they draw in actual watts so I could know whether they're actually any easier on the wiring or not.

YES hahahaha Marketing at its best. Pretty similar to the "max wattage" on the subs and amps in Walmart
