But, why not do just the harness first if you're tight on cash? It's amazing the difference with just that.

With the harness you get 2 benefits:

Much less load on the headlight switch and your stock headlamps will be 40% brighter!!

Crappy/bad light cut-off/work like crap. Other than those few downfalls, they're just frickin wonderful.
