Hilldweller suggested I post my build thread over here.....he pointed me in the direction of Daniel Stern, and Ray at Rallylights.com. He also suggested the Cibie H1 for added lighting when using the OEM high beams. I was so happy to get the wiring harness that I forgot to take pictures of it.....LED lights are cool, but I wanted the old school look and I think I got that. I have also ordered the HIR Phillips 9005/9006 bulbs to replace the OEM bulbs.
Here is the package I got from Daniel Stern......lights only. I ordered the Grote housings from Amazon.
Like I mentioned above I got the plug and play harness from rallyelights and used that instead. I also drilled a hole in the lower portion of the Grote housing and bypassed the hole in the stud. I used a grommet in the drilled hole and ran the wire through that hole. There is a limited amount of space in the Grote housing so I ended up not using the rubber boot and 2 pronged electrical connector. I instead used a 90 degree female connector to connect directly to the H1 bulb and I used one of the pre-drilled holes on the cibie housing as a ground connection.
Here is the current setup
So big thanks to Hilldweller, Ray, and Daniel Stern. They answered all my emails and took my phone calls.
I will try to take some before and after night shots.....
