I want to run 100/90W bulbs without destroying my harness so where can i get upgraded harnesses? How hard are they to replace? Any info would be great

Do them both it's worth it in the long run.

You can get a pair at Pep boys or any auto shops.

- To change 'em, before you cut the wires, cut 2 strips of masking tape (3 colors I used vanilla, light blue, and brown) and place it on the wires you intend to cut (hopefully 3).
- Now place the other strips in the appropriate wire to the upgraded harness.
- Now using a wire cutter, carefully cut thwe wires so that the copper is showing.
- Now using the strips of masking tape as reference, carefully wire the two harness together and cap it with a wire connector (I guess that is what it's called?!?)

- Make sure you do this during daylight hour for precision.

a few things. using mechanical fasteners such at those wire caps and snap on caps isn't really good for a car. i mean it can be done but stuff can vibrate and come loose. my suggestion is to solder your connections and pretect the connections with some heat shrink tubing. that would be the best way to do it.

secondly, if you want the ultimate headlight harness you shoudl use something like this (but with using h4 sockets)

power is taken directly from the battery so you don't have to worry about damaging the factory wiring. if you buy it or make one, you can make it plug and play with no cutting of the stock stuff.

You would be able to go to suvlights ('http://www.suvlights.com/'), but right now their changing the website, so it's temp unavailable. You should be able to do a search on google for whatever wiring harness your looking for, 'h4 wiring harness', 'h1 wiring harness', 'h7 wiring harness', and something should come up.
