the advantage of a new harness is brighter lights and for using over watt bulbs.
God I love these lights. I don't mind the stock color knowing I can see much better. I was driving at about 6:00pm on a cloudy afternoon and I could see the beam patter on the road. I'm telling you these things are sweet.
the harness takes power directly from the battery and sends it to the bulbs all with big heavy duty wiring. This keeps the resistance low for optimal light.....more power equals more light. also the ground wires are connected right to the chassis.
Here are some Beam patter pics.
9007 low beam
9007 high beam
9007 on left 9004 on right (low beam)
This is the beam pattern on the 96 SE with 97+ TYC headlamps. The bulbs are 9004 APC Sim. HID....crapola.
Here is a pic showing the 3 nubs inside the hole where the bulb goes.
aznprid972 I really recommend converting to 9007. 9004 bulbs are so out dated. I also recommend the harness. I had the same harness in the 96 with the 9004 APC bulbs and it made a noticeable difference. Think of the harness as the power wire going to your audio amp. If the wire gauge is too small then the amp will not work to its full capacity, over heat, or sound crappy. The same is true for light bulbs. The stock wiring is thin with much resistance. This makes the light output weak.
Max Noob yes you can just cut and switch the wires, and an upgraded harness is not a necessity just helps get the most out of your light bulbs.
