2005 headlights

I was looking through the treads on doing the switch and saw a few different wiring harnesses. My question's are has anyone made their own harness? I saw someone go with no harness and just put on the new plugs. Will this cause any damage? What do you guy's recommend? I already bought the headlights.

The harness is not 100% necessary. It just gives you a bit brighter light.

I have no input, but am going to follow this thread because 05 headlights are next on my mod list.

I like the look of the updated head lights too. I've heard the same thing as Jim about the harness making the lights brighter.

They take their power from the batteries so that you are getting full voltage to them. You use the existing wiring as the control circuit.

Thanks for the input so far. If the harness makes the lights brighter it might be worth it, any ideas of home built harness? I will not be able to the the upgrade until next month, but when complete pic will be posted!

Your more than welcome. At that price it's almost not worth making them your self.
