Yes indeed. I was just cruising around town and at night in cool weather and thought I could get away with running a single efan without a relay. I was wrong. Even with the fan kicking on for 1 minute the fuse block heated up real quick.

It has the basics like horn relay, flashers and colum/ head light plugs. The only thing is the directions are not overly helpful. They assume you know a little about wiring. But the important stuff is there. And lets face it wire that is labeled every 6" is hard to mess up. I just could not see an extra 150$+ of value in the other kits. Just my .02

At first I was considering a kit like this. But I like the idea of using the factory style firewall connector along with all the connectors already there.

By the time you do all that, you are much better off buying one that is done.
I am also looking at this one also..

Thanks for the replies fella. Anyone else have anything to add??
