Would be nice if the sockets had a mounting tab. Good quality wire and nice loom. Be sure to create a rock-solid ground. You are replacing-or at least supplementing-the factory ground for the headlights with this harness. If you do that you should have something that will last another 50 years.
I have been bitten by offshore stuff before. I am thinking about piecing something together and make my own harness. Thanks again!
