A couple months ago I ordered this because I wanted brighter lights but I'm not ready to undertake a projector conversion.
Last week I finally got around to installing it with new housings and piaa 9005 and 9006 bulbs.
I am disappointed so far.
The plugs on the wire harness have grooves in them to fit specifically with the 9006 or 9005 bulbs. One groove for the 9005 and two for the 9006.
The single groove on the new wire harness plugs for the 9005 are not deep enough to fit correctly.
I got one to go on but when I unplugged it, the plastic broke off and got stuck in the bulb housing.
Obviously some cheap plastic.
I removed the stock plug and transferred it to the new wire harness and it worked fine. I also noticed that the stock plugs have moisture seals where the wires attach. The new harness does not.
So after that I got everything hooked up.
Both grounds were secured in stock locations, piaa bulbs plugged in, and fused power to the battery.
When I turn on the lights, both 9006 bulbs come on and blinkers work.
When I turn on the brights (9005)the relay clicks but no lights come on.
I switch the plug for the brights with the regular lights.
This time the power to the bright lights turns on the regular lights but again, no bright lights.
Upon closer inspection of the wiring harness I found that whoever assembled it knicked the wires when they put the protective loom on. I don't think that this would cause a failure but it's certainly exposed wire and that's not good.
This is all very amateur in my opinion and I don't think it's a quality harness.
I'm not going to be using it and will just hook up the stock wiring until I can find something better.
I emailed Kolak 3 time and posted to his shock thread but have not received any response.
I'm providing this experience in case anyone else is contemplating this purchase.
