I would be VERY interested in the DIY headlight harness. I can solder all day long - so I don't mind saving money by building it myself. As long as there is a wiring diagram to follow......

Travis, that's awesome. I assume we'd have to note that in the comments of our order?

P.S. When are you having a sale?

Default Suppose you did not want to change the wiring

If you wanted to maintain stock OEM wiring and bulb sockets, what would be the best way to increase headlight illumination for better night vision?

I'd go with better lenses (e-codes) and stock bulbs. That's a huge difference.

well.. for special pricing you usually have to call... whine a little and we work something out.

Michael,
You still have a credit with us for the brake pads as well. If you need the harness just call and we can sort all of that out.

Dan,
The connectors only kits are going to be just that, connectors only. No diagrams, wire, skin or shrink tube. This will allow those that can do it to receive the hard to source parts and keep those that cannot do it from getting in over their heads. I will include a hookup diagram (high, low, ground) for the OEM headlight plug but the rest should be self explanatory for those that should / can do the job on their own.

Travis- Thanks. I sent you an email through your website for a new total for the harness and the retina burners (130w). Can't wait. Thanks for your patience with me. Michael

No diagram?
Maybe have one online?

I'll probably buy the connector only anyway, but it would just be so much easier with a diagram to follow

So the Ecode with stock lamp would be this one at Rallylights--
H5006A Two Lamps with Hella 60/55w H4 Bulbs
and you could also go with
Two Lamps with Hella 60/55w Xenon +50% H4 Bulbs?
or you could go with this one from 944online
Model: 944 S(3)
Category: Body Electrical
Item H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit E-Code
though I'm not sure which bulb that has.
Right?

As long as the lenses at 944online are e-codes and not "VisionPlus" lenses, yes. If you go with the +50% bulbs, upgrade your wiring, unless you want a light show with smoke and fire in your car.

Ok guys, ecodes are back on sale today because of the buzz here. $30

On a side note though, the harnesses as of right now are out of stock. If you need one of those as well the complete order should ship about Wednesday of next week.
