Hey crackedback you've got a great reputation on the Mopar forums! I've got my whole harness torn apart redoing electrical.  I'm going to need a few relays, will yours from your headlight kit fit in a fuse/relay box? Do you recommend one for under the hood? Trying to think it thru before I order

Appreciate the comment.  I try my best to shoot straight and pass on good info.

Good idea for a relay or distribution box, I don't have any suggestions as I use the mounting block system.  You could check with Bussman.  I think there was a member at FABO that did some type of under hood distribution set up.  I think his handle is Pauly100 or something like that.  He was from Hawaii.    You could definitely incorporate some type of box and include a series of relays to fire items.  One guy I know used a distribution box from a chrysler minivan.

Here's a thread with some info from pauly    http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=139836&highlight=relay

I could build the headlight portion and provide relays as long as I have the proper connectors for whatever distribution box you chose.  My 2 cents, don't cheap out on relays, buy quality pieces, Bosch/tyco, etc.  I never use chinese relays, failure rates are much higher on them.

Yes, to follow up dfnsmn34... so if I received this, how would I know how to install it? I see you say essentially plug n play, but how would I know where to attach it to, and maybe I cant see well in the photo, but it looks like some of the ends are just wire no connectors? Is it more obvious to hook it up than it looks in that pic? Im not afraid I couldnt do it, just not sure Id know even what to do.

Keep in mind the pic in the first post has a Roadlamp relay kit, green wires.  All the wires are terminated unless the purchaser wants to alter run lengths, which is not common.

I have a set of comprehensive instructions I did for an A body car.   Same basic approach for the headlights only.  For a 2 headlight car, you have 3 plugs, 3 ground wires and 2 power wires to connect.  Really easy for even the most ardent electrophobes.  Most installs take less than 2 hours for someone going really slow while enjoying a beverage.

Plus, I'm only a phone call or message away for tech support.

Had another install from stock wiring and headlights to relays and a pair of halogens.

I'll post another pic of the change, it's huge.

Installed my kit a few weeks back - very straight forward install. Rarely drive at night so jury is still out although from what I read - should be a big improvement.

Before and after.  Stock lamps ad wiring to relays and $15 nighthawk halogens.

After I see how the stock lights look I'm sure I will go for this upgrade.

Amazing difference.

Do the nighthawk halogens require modification to fit? I know going from the old style lamps to newer sometimes requires some cutting to let the connector fit.

Should be a direct fit replacement.
