Headlight relay harness - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Burgie70 · 05-24-2014, 09:01 PM

I put in the headlight relay wiring harness and everything seems to work fine. The PO used to tow a small 5th wheel with this truck so I decided to rip out the electric tow brake control and also the 5th wheel electric harness that was in the bed. I swear I've never seen such a hodgepodge of wiring under this truck. Anyway it's all cleaned up now.

Did you buy a kit for that or build it yourself?

I bought the kit from Classic Parts of America. Didn't have to cut any wires with this harness just plug and play. Did have to loosen top of radiator to get other connector through to drivers side headlight.

I did that upgrade without a kit 7 or 8 years ago and its a super, for the price , and easy to install upgrade to our trucks. The other super bang for the buck upgrade is a front sway bar, especially the 1 1/4 inch one.

One of the best things we can do to our trucks!

Yes - A very good upgrade. I got the same one you have over a year ago and have had no issues. It's nice to have brighter lights isn't it?

Thanks! I've been looking for one and couldn't find it. I was searching wrong. I used "headlight" and they use "headlamp".

I just made my own. And yes it's one of the best upgrades you can do to these 40 year old trucks.

Nice to hear it works well. I've always heard good things about the harness.
