I can agree with that statement.

I went the Daniel Stern route and in fact even asked if he could make up the harness for me and he did. I think it ended up being pretty close to the SUVlights harness as far as cost a bit more but not much iirc.. I have no expereince with any of the other harnesses except the stock one. His harness is top quality. Fit, length, gauge etc was top of the line. One thing I really liked was he used a ribbon type flat cable so the wires going to the far headlight are together in one cable very nice clean install.

Ooooh! Ooooooh!

I can't hardly wait till Canada Post brings me my package from Daniel Stern! I cleaned up the headlights a bit and put in some SilverStar Ultra bulbs and there is already an improvement in being able to see at night. Hopefully the Stern harness will help even more!

Cheers!

then you can run 9007's instead of 9004s.

Did you also upgrade to Sport headlights? Which bulbs are you using now for your low/high? If you can post a few pics.

My camera is MIA (may have to do a merry xmas to me to replace it) so cant take pictures at the moment. However I did do the sportlight upgrade. I got the lights off of ebay or amazon. The store I used had them on sale and they were approx 150 for the pair. I was unwilling to spend 500-600 on the dodge sport lights from the dealer as much as I wanted to just couldnt justify it. The lights I got work fine so far. Fine is an understatement. They work fantastic compared to the old ones. As far as bulbs I am actually using two different bulb brands the 9004s and 9007s are two different brands. I went with Daniel Sterns recommendations on bulbs from an email he sent me. I am sorry I cant remember which bulbs are which nor can I remember the second brand. Yes he did recommend a different brand for the 9004 and another brand for the 9007s one was for one of the ge nighthawk series and the other might have been phillips but I may very well be wrong(those may be the ones that came with my headlights). He even provided me with links to each to purchase and I could not find them cheaper after a bit of research (he wasnt selling them). I found Daniel to be very helpful we talked a few times on the phone as well and was nice as well as helpful. If I can locate my camera I will post a pic. As far as the harness he made for me I cant believe there are any better out there.
In any case this weekend I will climb up into the garage attic I think I still have the bulb boxes packed up with the bulbs that came with the new headlights along with my old headlight housings as well as try and take a pic or two.

I sent Daniel an email, so far I haven't hear back. Is he usually pretty busy or maybe he didn't get it

I got up in the garage attic this afternoon to get out my ice fishing equipment and as I thought the bulb boxes were packed in with my old housings. The bulbs I am using per Daniels recommendation are

GE Nighthawk 9004nh which I bought through Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/GE-9004NH-BP2-...2194253&sr=8-1

Phillips Extreme Power 9007/HB5 which I bought through Candle Power Inc http://store.candlepower.com/bfcopo90hbpo1.html

My camera is still MIA however the light housings while I cant remember exactly where I got them they are made or imported by TYC per the name on the box. I am quite happy with them at least so far and it has been about a year. I did look and there is not much to photo except the front of the lights themselves which are going to look like any other sport light and the cable that goes across to feed the far side headlight assembly. All the other stuff such as relays, fuses, connections etc are out of sight and without taking out the light is going to be hard/impossible to see.

Hope this helps

As far as Daniel and email he sometimes takes a day or two to get back iirc.

I hear ya. I've been waiting well over a week now for the relay kit. Sent Daniel an email as well with no response. Must be a busy guy. I already have everything else. Sport headlights, GE Nighthawk 9004NH and Phillips Extreme Power 9007/HB5. If I don't hear anything this coming week I'll probably cancel my order and build my own relay/harness kit for my headlights.

Would this one work with stock headlights if I just want to use 9004 lights?

I just want to get aftermarket black housing lights and they don't come in Sport configuration. So I figured I'd get some good 9004s, this harness and lights. It would be still an improvement over stock lights imo.

Hello

So I am following the threads on upgrading the Head light Harness with the relays

I have placed a order with SUVlights and no response no action on my pay Pal order.

I then contacted Daniel Stern and e mailed with him a few times then E mailed him my order for a harness noreply I have called him no call back???
I wanted to use his made in USA KIT and have his harness maker make one for me no reply to my e mail. no reply to my Phone call????

Ok my DTR brothers any one else out there make heavy duty harnesses???

I am not ready to go the Sport light route yet.

Thanks in Advance.

Chris

Daniel stern won't respond to emails. He didn't respond to my 5 emails that I've sent him that I wanted to buy harness from him.

I got mine from SUVlights. It didn't take them that long to get back to me. You might want to give them another shout. So far I am happy with their harness.
