I'm interested in doing the headlight relay mod in my pickup. Im looking at this kit off ebay (pic below). Wondering if anyone has used this before and can recommend? I've heard about a kit from LMC but can't seem to find it. Also heard they use cheaper relays? Any insight is appreciated, thanks guys.
Buy a harness from Daniel Stern Lighting. Good components, good connections, correct wire gauges for what you want and custom made as you want. I generally buy headlight products from him for any vehicle that I own. Yes its 5x more expensive than that ebay harness.
I'll recommend the Bronco Graveyard harness for a cheap harness and the harness from CE Auto Electric for a high dollar harness. Not as expensive as Daniel Stern but it's made with quality parts and comes with every last nut an bolt you need to install it.

Thank you both for the links.. I have been looking for a QUALITY harness to use since RJM has gone out of business. I have also been looking for better lighting options for my LTL9000 and Daniel Stern has some
Not bad I got a custom made on that can't get anymore but check with Bronco Graveyard also. I agree with the Bosch relays too. These make all the difference with lights
I have the RJM Injection Tech harness. I've had it for probably over 10 years and its great. Wish you could still order them. It was on my old truck and I swapped it over to my white truck. Daniel Stern Lighting really knows his stuff, so I would assume his harness is great too.
The LMC harness which is also on Ebay etc with the yellow wire covering isn't as good, but is better than no harness at all.
That one you are looking at on Ebay for 20 bucks might be fine and for the price seems lworth trying.
I might end up replacing relays with Bosch units. A deciding factor for me was ebay sending me a discount code email. Ended up paying about $10 for the harness. Don't think I could've put one together for that price. If it shows up and quality is awful I'll let you guys know, but for the price i figured I'd take the chance.
I built my own with 12ga wiring, some bosch relays from a Volvo and ceramic sockets I found off ebay. Took me and a buddy a day to wire it in, it's super easy and if one fails, bosch relays can be found anywhere in the junkyards out of pretty much anything euro or Ford from the 90s on.
