    It's nice to see someone's truck with a dirtier dashboard than mine. :eek:

    that's the way to go. Took me 15 minutes to solder up the harness, and I'm about as stupid as it gets with wiring. The pocket is nice too, fits perfect.

    Damn straight, son! :cool:

    My truck is always dirty; I've only washed it maybe a half-dozen times since I bought it new. :eek:

    The off-roading scratches on the sides show less when there's a decent layer or three of filth on the truck. :mudding:

    It also has a damaged area of clear coat on the hood from a bottle rocket that went the wrong way. :fenforcer:

    I'd be laughed right out of the mall parking lot. :(

    Does anyone know if this 100w/20amp harness will work with 2 hella 500's?
    Because I was told it wouldn't. Figured you guys know more than the dumb asses around Atrisco.

    Hella 500's are 55 watt lights; I have 2 on my truck. 2 would pull 110 watts, slightly over the 100 watt rating of that wiring harness. If the wire used in the harness is too small of a gauge, you'll have some voltage drop across the wires, but it will still probably work. Don't know what a "20 amp pulse" is; I would run a relay to handle the current.

    If you want help w/ the wiring, I'd be glad to; I have some time this weekend. Still have an extra relay, too, from when Silas & I wired his compressor.
