When I make my harness how should I go about the ground wires? Can I run a ground from the right headlight socket going into the left socket and then going to a grounding post near the battery? Then run a ground from 1 relay to the other and then to the same grounding post? Should I just use 4 seperate ground wires to the same post? The painless wiring harness only uses 1 ground wire, not sure how they wire it up though. I don't like the Putco harness which has ground wires connecting near the headlight sockets.

so I've been looking around for these amazing E-code lights everyone has been raving about. The only ones that I have found are for offroad use only, and are 100+ per pair. At that price I could just do a morimoto projector for 130 and get much greater cutoff. anyone know where to get the autopals? I looked on amazon and eBay...nothing! the closest thing that I have found is Euro conversion, or Euro diamond crystal. are the euro conversions the same a E-codes, or did they stop selling E-codes?

Is this easy enough for you or should I shop around for the best price, too?

Sorry about that, everyone was stating that i needed E-codes, and all the links took me to "Euro Conversion" I thought that being in a forum i could prevent from buying the wrong thing and make sure these were the Ecodes. sorry to annoy you. thanks for the links.
