9007 to 9008 lights

I am going to swap from 2002 headlights (9007) to 05+ (9008). I went into the Dfuser dot com site and saw they have the 9007/8 wiring harness with pigtails or one with the relay harness. Which one do I need? I already have the headlights and the sockets with bulbs.

If you do have the sockets, then you don't need their harness. The relays would be nice, but aren't required.

You just have to splice the new harness to or in place of the 9007 harness.

Here's when I installed mine:

You have the pigtails or just the bulbs for the heads right now?

The harness is nice since you get more juice to the bulbs themselves.

I have the stock sockets and bulbs right now, I imagine that enough right now, right?

Thanx for the write up, Dan.

You need the H13 (9008) pigtails if you want to splice them in.
The 9007 plug that is on the 99-04 trucks won't work on the H13 bulb.
