Has anyone seen the APC wiring kit. I went to the store to buy a new harness for my crusted headlight harness and the only thing they had was this upgrade kit. It includes wires that run to the battery then to a "black box" then to the headlights. I didnt have time to read the box too much, but I'm guessin it just draws more watts from the battery. Has anyone used this and do you think it is worth it if I have PIAA's. I just dont want the bulbs to explode from too much power or melt my housing. Let me know. :explode:

bulbs "pull" power. power is not pushed into something. you could increase the "power" by adding a higher amount of voltage. ohm's law states that power (watts) is equal to voltage multiplied by current (amps). since the upgrade harness is obviously not a step up transformer, meaning that it won't change the voltage from 12v to something higher then you don't have to worry about your bulbs getting screwed up since an electrical device will only pull the amount of current it needs from the power source. the black box is either a single pull/single throw or a single pull/double throw relay depending on the wiring of it. it basicly allows you to run higher wattage bulbs without melting the harness.
