Install reply harness for 9006 lowbeam question

nomads · Mar 8, 2017

Hey Guys,

I want to upgrade my dim 2012 accord se 9006 low beam. I would like to add reply harness to avoid the voltage drop according to Daniel stern lighting (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/relays/relays.html) My question is is this Putco 9006/9012 HEAVY DUTY HARNESS & RELAY the right one to purchase and install?

If yes, I will buy this together with Volsa 9012+30 bulb.

Many Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the board. A relay harness: No, you should not buy a Putco harness (low quality, poor reliability). If you're going to put in relays, put in good quality parts. But before you try putting in a harness, which can have undesirable effects on your '12 Honda, just swap the 9012+30 bulbs into your low beams. The stock wiring is equally as adequate for them as for the 9006s, and you'll have almost 90% more light throughout the low beam without creating any new issues. Make sure the lamps are aimed correctly with an optical headlamp aiming machine.

Many thanks for your kind reply. I do not need to worry about the relay then, I will go for the 9012+30!
