    Looks and sounds pretty straight forward. Connect to battery and to existing light sockets then plug into new bulbs, throw in in-line fuses and/or relays. Done. Right?

    Finally got a moment to write a quick walk thru on the headlights. It’s really simple if any of this don’t make sense please feel free to ask me any questions.
    1) unbolt battery tie down using a 10mm an just remove the bar an move battery to gain access to drive side headlight.
    2) Remove harness from drive an passenger side bulbs. Unclip an remove both bulbs.
    3) insert both bulbs
    4) attach new harness to drivers side bulb.
    5) attach new harness to stock harness using the connector that came off the stock bulb(can’t mess this up only goes on one way)
    6) using a small flat head unclip the plastic lip that covers the top of the radiator an run harness along the top an I used zip ties to secure it there an reinstall the lip.
    7)attach new harness to passenger side bulb(old harness on this side won’t be used)
    8) connect positive an negative attachments to battery terminals an reinstall battery tray holder clean up rest of harness(I just wrapped it up an zip tied by light driver side)
    Turn on lights an enjoy the brightness:cheers:

    Seems everyone is getting hit hard on that tax this year. The state is trying to remove a bunch of agg. exemptions as well. They told my dad that his half of our family farm is no longer agg. exempt because there's no entry to his property unless you go onto my uncle's property. He's disputing it. We have exotic deer, sheep, goats, antelope, etc.
