After while, I figured out that they had the high beam wire and ground wire in the connector swapped on the outer two lamps which was powering up the ground... I should have just bought new lamp pigtails and wired it myself... I figured this would be the easy way out, but was wrong...

Sorry for the rant, just wondering if you had the same kit and troubles.

Great work, keep the pics coming

Tony, the kit I got was from Classic Industries and looked like it was for a 'tuner' or something....yellow braided covering, etc. I checked out the harness and found I didnt understand the way it was set up. It appeared as though it used switches that ground, like a horn circuit, for eg. I cut off their connector and grounded 85 or 86 to the body(cant ever remember the damn #) used the other wires to plug into the the original plug. It came with the headlite plugs wired correctly and everything worked. So my original headlite switch sends power to ground thru the relay which in turn sends juice from the battery to the headlites(30 to 87).

Thanks mosesburb....still have the 'burb. I drove it around this summer a bit and it wouldnt start. I think I fried the ign module as I had a bad alternator and was only running on 11v for awhile before I figured it out. Due to frustration I havent touched it since that day. Needs a new harness badly!!
