What most don't factor in is all the extra things you purchase to go along with your "budget" kit. The AAW kits and Painless, Ron Francis, etc, most of the time include new switches, connectors, terminals, tie wraps, and most everything you need.

In no way should anyone compare one of the AAW Classic Update Series Kits to an EZ wire universal because the EZ is just that- universal. The Classic Upgrade Series from AAW and direct fit harness from Painless and Ron Francis are designed to install as an OEM harness.

If you're a novice at re-wiring, I'd personally suggest getting the most "plug and play" harness you can get, if nothing else- to ease the frustration during install, and also it'll help you be more confident in the work you did.

My best advise I can give- is shop around for the best deal, NOT the cheapest price, and see what all comes in the different kits for that price. That is the biggest difference. You can spend well over $100 on the remaining items you'll need to install.
