Both of them.
I cut the plug wiring as long as I possibly can, but even if you cut them short just be sure to leave enough so you don't have to splice the wires right at the plug.
I'm going to look for some more because I'm planning to relay several other systems including my a/c.
You might have to get one each from different cars, but if they're from the same year and brand car, getting them from the junk yard is a pretty cheap solution to a semi-expensive problem.
Just my dos centavos worth..... :wink:

I agree Skip. The things a person can score by just keeping thier "peepers peeled". I scoreed a good share of the items I used on my harness from work. They were all items heading to the garbage can.

also very nice to have it so hi/low beams are on at the same time(i added a extra switch to control this.)

i brought my entire old harness inside when i made the new one , also did the rear lights at the same time, everything soldered with plug ins at the stock places.
I agreee, it would be a complete new harness. Run a 14/3 (high, low, ground)cable to each light. Then run a 12/2 to the battery for pos & neg.

I also put my relays inside the cab with the fuse block.

I have run the LMC kits on 2 different trucks. I tuck the 2 relays left side core next to the oe horn relay. One could do like Jason or Skip if they wanted to.

Jason,
Thats a nice setup! I think you should move forward with your idea! Lots of things we need for these old trucks. jenkins.gif
