headlights
Last night I was going down a really dark road and noticed how bad the headlights are. I stopped at advance auto parts and picked these up. They were like 40 bucks or something. I will do a before and after picture on a dark road. Anyone have these and are they 40% better

Make sure to wear some rubber gloves or the oil in your skin will greatly shorten their lifespan
Also note that to get the old bulbs out you either need to have really small hands or take off the grill!
And no, that isn't a April fools joke

One of my biggest beefs was the headlights. I called David at Northridge, and he recommended the IPF replacement h4 kit. OMG. Like a night and day difference, litterially. I'd do that kit again and should have been one of the first things I did before thinking about bulbs. 30 minutes and the lights are hugely different.
Did you have to cut any factory wires or was it plug and play?
David at Northridge is a great guy, hrs helped to guides a couple of my buying experiences!

There are many many threads on the IPF setup. I've had mine for a couple of years and can see much much better than stock. As for the harness question. The harness converts the oem plug to the new plug on the new style lamps. It's just an intermediate plug socket. Too bad you (and I) tried and wasted $$$ on new bulbs. BTW you can also try re-aligning the headlights using Daniel Stearn's method. It's on the Forum somewhere. That helped also b4 the new IPFs

If so it sounds like the perfect solution
