That's a nice looking harness, unlike other harnesses I've seen they only have you plug it into one of the headlamp circuits... usually it's both circuits, but I guess it doesn't need to be. Thanks for sharing that... I've been looking for one and Painle$$ wiring wants over $100 for theirs!

That is awesome, exactly what I need over here in Germany.
We have to install H4 lamps to get the car registered.

Thanks!!!

Anyone got this installed yet? Anyone have a write-up for us to follow?

Dan Stern has a nice conversion as well. I've used it first hand.

Ok, so I couldn't resist this harness. When I get it I'll let everyone know how it goes. Who says I'm impulsive????

I did get this installed in my 63 Polara. The main issue I had was that the headlights are further apart than on a Chevelle. I had to splice about 12" of wire into the leads that go to the outboard headlights. When I stripped the insulation off to solder and heat shrink the joints I found the gauge of the wire looks like 16 ga., so definately pay attention that you do not put any high draw lights in. The instructions are very clear and do specify the max draw for the harness. The lights are nice and bright and work well. I can't wait to drive at night now. If you do this on a vehicle like my 63 where the outboard lights tie a piece of twine on the old plug before you pull it out, that way you can tie it on to the new plug and pull it through. There is no way to get your hand into the cavity behind the outboard headlight unless you remove the headlight bucket. This will save you some time.

Thanks for sharing your experience, will work on mine by end of the months.
