Headlight Wire Harness Upgrade

[tbone]

I'm looking at upgrading my weak '97 SHO headlights with an upgraded headlight wire harness. Right now I have some Sylvania Cool Blues which are better than my old stock ones but still pretty hurting.

I know SUVlights.com sells a harness for around $60 but I also saw one for $20 less at Summitracing.com Here's the link.

I just wanted to know if the one from the link is the basically the same as the SUVlights harness or completely different.

Thanks!

Yes, the SUVlights one is way over priced.

I would recommend too that you run a dedicated ground from the passenger headlight to the drivers headlight to the ground point on the drivers side fender.

I've read a few other posts about running a dedicated ground wire. I'm just wondering what the purpose is of running the dedicated ground wire?
Thanks

Being DC what goes it must come out. The ground is as important as the hot wire. If there is resistance in the ground circuit it will show up as a voltage drop at the headlights.

Thanks for the quick replies. I think I might have to bite the bullet and buy a kit thru SUVlights.com, even though they cost more. Summitracing.com has ridiculously high rates for shipping to Canada. For Canadian orders they charge a flat rate handling charge and won't tell you the shipping rate, they just bill you what ever it is when they ship it.

Does anyone know any other websites that sell these kits?

Maybe the addition of a fuse? If I remember correctly my APC setup has no fuse inline. I know that since I have installed this bugger I have lost 3 lights in the last 18 months.

Are you saying that you don't have the headlights fused?
