I just got back from our little family get together , The Putco/Autopal combo is incredible ! Nice Cutoff, Bight , I can see road signs again !

For those with stock headlights if you do this modification your stock hi beams are not as bright as the lowbeams with autopals and a putco harness !

So, why didn't you get the high beam low beam combos? I am planning on doing the hid conversion with hi and low. Was there an issue, or just your kit didn't come with?

This is a question based on the comment Stock high beams aren't as bright as H4 lows, or do you just mean the lighting is that much better, and i totally read it wrong?

I think he meant that the new bulbs are brighter on low than the old bulbs were on high.

LOL as I was typing, towards the end I thought that was what you meant and felt a little dumb.

I also will be posting a comparison this weekend. I have a harness w/PIAA Intense white bulbs and the diamond cut autopals (junk) and just got the e-codes delivered today. Right off the bat the e-codes are heavier and appear to have thicker glass, probably cuz all the focusing is done with the lenses instead of a cheap sheet metal reflector. So I plan on doing a comparison between stock, stock w/harness, diamond cut, and e-code.

Yup everything is included. I'm running the LMC harness in my 97. The info (part #) and link are in my headlight writeup earlier in this thread.
