yep thats what they are talking about. if you doubt the need for it. measure voltage at the head lights some time then back probe the connector with while the lights are on and use a jumper wire right to battery power. your lights get brighter by quite a bit.

Just when I thought I was getting a handle on the engine mods, you guys come up with a lighting upgrade that I need to do.

Who's going to explain THIS expense to my wife?

It been about 2 years since I checked but it below 12 bolts if I remember correctly and since system voltage is 14 +or - it's missing some juice. The wiring is too small!
