put headlight relays in today...
Chiming in to vouch for the headlight harness kit from @crackedback. I bought one a while ago, lured by the promise of brighter headlights and the ancillary benefit of brighter dash lights, and finally got around to installing this week. I'm not a huge wrencher, especially with automotive electrical, so I had to spend a bit of time wrapping my mind around what was actually going to get modified. Once I set out to get the project going, I reviewed the original thread about the kit and then stared under the hood of my '67 Cuda, trying to grasp the electrical flow from the battery and the dash switch to the headlights and parking lights, and how the new harness would fit in. The directions that @crackedback sent via email helped a ton. Once I got going, the installation was smooth. The "moment of truth" -- turning on the headlights after reinstalling the battery -- was a big success. One measure of relative ease of this project: Used 3 maybe 4 obscenities the entire time. End result is that headlights are definitely brighter. So are my interior lights. Dash lights are better, not great, but I'm sure there are other issues that need addressing on that front. Photos are headlights before, after and teenage son wrenching.
