Kit arrived a couple of days ago. First a stupid admission on my part, I thought the H4 three prong plug would accept the H5006 sealed beam hi-lo halogen bulb. It does not. I chose to install the harness with the relays being mounted on the passenger side of the car on the front of the radiator panel. Drilled the holes for the relay mounts through one of the headlight buckets. By placing the relays on the passenger side, that meant the power lead was too short and so I had to lengthen that run of wire.

I didnt want to spend more money on LED lights or modern halogen with replaceable bulbs, so I depinned the H4 plugs and moved the wires over to two of the existing three prong headlight plugs. I had part of an old headlight wiring harness with the needed original equipment plugs and pirated those. Taped up the old headlight leads removed from the factory bulbs, and pushed the unused wiring back behind the grill.

I used the orignail high beam plug on the passenger side as the trigger for the relays, but this required a trip to the auto parts store for a replacement headlight plug to accept the trigger plug.

The biggest obstacle was pulling everything part after finding the sealed beam 5006 bulbs wont fit the h4 plugs on the harness I bought. As this kit turns on all four headlights on low and then turns on the second filament in each bulb on high, I also needed to buy two new 5006 hi-lo bulbs. I still need to aim these things, but I think it will work well in the end.
