LMC HD headlight harness review
I just received mine in the mail for my 77. First thing I did was sheer off the yellow jacketing because it looks hideous. I'll be replacing it with black split loom.
The wire is thicker gauge than stock which I was shooting for. Some people had problems with these being wired incorrectly but I checked mine and it looks fine. If you buy one, it's probably a good idea to double check it. One thing I found out the hard way is that with H4 headlights, the stock headlight connectors grip the bulb way too tight. The bulbs are held in with spring clips, so if the connector is too tight, the spring clips flex when you try remove the connectors, it's a little scary. The connectors on the new harness slide on and off just like they should. Since the harness has better connectors and thicker gauge wire, I'm going to graft it in as part of the wiring harness and get rid of the factory connectors and wiring. Over all I'm pretty happy with it. For $30 I was willing to give it a try. I've heard a lot of people say just grab some relays and do the mod yourself, but thicker gauge wires, better connectors all pre assembled for you is a real time saver. Another complaint I heard was the lack of fuses. This concerned me at first, but upon closer inspection, it appears that the first section of the power leads before the ring terminals might actually be fusible link wire. There are no markings on it but it has the super soft and flexible feeling that i've only seen with fusible link wire. I'm not sure if I want to use this or just go ahead and replace them with ATC blade fuses. I also bought the round H4 headlights too, I'll let you all know how those work out as well. |
