Reply With QuoteI duno which post you read but theres a cable rewire kit you can buy for like 30 bucks that replacs the wires and harness. Your lights will be much brighter with the rewire. Search the archives for the link.
Hello all:
I got these 9006 12v 80w super white lights for my car, after I installed them I smelled something burning or overheating. Well both harnes were very hot and smelled like plastic melting. I read about changing the harness somewhere here, but my question is is it only changing the harness or is it better to replace the whole cable run.
Thanks

Hi all:
Thanks for the information.
By the way, I noticed the smell in about 10 minutes. It was dark so I also was going to aim the lights. One of them is loose because the piece that holds it broke some time back.
Thanks.
Every time my harness burns out I just replace them, Heres a tip.
When u install your harnesses use wire clips to attach them, it makes it easier to install and if they burn out u just unclip and attach the new harness. Way better than using black tape.
Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.

do you 7G guys use H4 like we 8Gs too? if so u can just buy (SPW) harness. makes your lights a lil bit brighter than stock harness! thats what I noticed when my harness finally gaved up w/ my PIAA bulbs for over a year.

Ok guys, now it got me.
How do I install the suvlights harness, if our lights have the cover in the back and I do not see any hole I can pass the cables by.
I came up with these 3 scenarios:
1) cut open the side of the light and make a hole big enought to pass the connectors. Then use a glue gun and a piece of the plastic that I removed to cover the hole and hope that water does not get in.
2) cut the harnes cable, and make a small hole under the cover and pass the cable ,then put the connectors back on, then seal hole.
3) install and do not use the cover and put a ballon over the hole to cover .
4) sell my harness and do not use it. Keep living this way.
any ideas.
you dont need the cover on
i dont and it works fine
Thanks
I will try it again this weekend. While I replace the rear suspension.
dammmmmmm poootttt holes.
