Re: Headlight relay

It looks like 20 feet to me and this is just for a two light chevy.
The other link in the first post for LMC shows the guy removing the battery, battery box and loosening the radiator. In the end, they ended up with the battery wiring in the screen capture shown below.

Sorry, I don't want any of that.

I would never do a hack install like the one shown in the pic of the LMC one you posted. Never connect an AUX lead wire to main battery post. Use the + Buss on the fender next to battery.....typically a good + battery cable has an AUX wire that feeds this aux buss and are themselves a fusible 30amp link

I did remove the 2 radiator hold down brackets to run the harness in the core support but never had to move the radiator itself. Removing battery makes it easier to unplug PS headlight and access the AUX buss connection

These headlight relay harnesses are very simple, and one can make their own. AAW stuff, IMHO, is always solid stuff. There are also a few independent "wire guys" who make this stuff. Gary @ innovative wiring makes great stuff. IDK if he does make headlight harness but his (battery cables, EL fan relay harness, MAF extensions, etc) are excellent quality
