Hey everyone i was wondering if you could help me out i melted a wiring harness on my headlight and the dealership wants to charge me 1200 to replace it. What is the best aftermarket harness to get and where can i get it PLEASE HELP ME!!!

 

what!!! i did that before too.. and they covered it under warrenty... u still have warrenty?

 

buy harness from any auto store and install it yourself.

should cost you around $10 for a harness.

 

how did you melt your harness anyways? HID kit?

 

i was runnin aftermarket HID "STYLE" lights and it melted the clip where u plug the bulb in and wen i brought it they told me that it wasnt under warranty because there wasnt a TOYOTA bulb in there talk about CRAP!! but i was thinkin about puttin a HID kit in but a friend of myne sed his HID kit continousli blew becuz he was producing enough power to the bulbs so that is ANOTHER reason y i was thinkin about an aftermarket kit they say they produce more power to the bulb and it is more heat resistant than a stock. wat you guys think HELP ME OUT.

i kno its a lil off topic but u guys no of any free mods for better horsepower and engine cooling. thanks guys

 

well of course they would say its not covered by warranty, because it wasnt an OEM bulb that did it! What you should of done before going over there was switched out the bulbs and put the stockers back in!


another thing, better English bro!!!

 

All you need is the 9006 bulb harness (any auto part store should have this), cut off the old harness, connect the new one to the wires and you're done. An HID setup will need a proper HID housing, ballasts, and the the wiring. The stock wires are too thin so you would need a relay to connect the HID wiring to the battery and have them feed off the battery instead of the stock wiring.

 

There are no free mods to increase engine power output. As for engine cooling, you could remove the hood to let the heat escape the engine bay...

 

so you mean to say that everyone who had their headlights retrofitted they used that method? i don't know to much about retrofitting so sorry for the dumb question.

 

??

no. that's to replace a burnt out harness.

 

^ wackness

 

^^ huh??

 

Thanks for the info. So i should just go out and buy any old 9006 harness and splice the wires together and it will work. But for now im running 9006 Hyper Blue lights by APC and that is the bulb that melted the plastic plug so now my next question is do you think it is better to use an original harness for it or one of those "HEAT RESISTANT" aftermarket harness. I just don't want to continue to blow plugs until i get my HID kit.

 

just use some conductive grease when you install those things in.

but if i were you.. i'd just stick your stock bulbs in rather than run APC....
(aka.. A Piece of Crap)

 

Thanks for all your help guys!!!

 

or you can use sylvania silverstars. they work great and i've been using them ever since i got my car and no problems. plus they are inexpensive!!

 

You know i have used silverstars on my past 3 cars (escort, lancer, endeavor) and have had no problems but for some reason i have gone through 3 sets of silverstars that is why i changed to a different bulb it was begining to cost me WAY to much!! but i don't kno why i had such problems with them its weird
