Re: wiring harness.. original vs painless

I am just finishing installing my painless wiring kit. One thing that irritated me was I spent about 3 hours looking for the wiring for the back up lights. Then after reading the instructions there was a little Astrix beside the wiring for the back up lights that says your kit may not come with these wires. Great another trip to the auto parts store. Another thing that you may want to look into is buy a new signal line switch and headlight switch. This eliminates some of the gremlins that are going to run into. I spent a couple hours trying to figure out why my one signal light was not working. Turned out to be a cracked wire on the signal light switch harness. And also I had a bad connection on the headlight switch which was another head scratcher. You should be able to get both these switches for well under a hundred dollars but well worth it. Overhaul the kit was not hard to install. all the wires are well marked and the instructions are easy to follow.
