Got the putco harness installed. Used 30a blade fuses on the + wires. They had these cool little sealed ones at AZ so I bought those.
For anyone who does this, IMO just go ahead and pull the battery and your header panel. Would've been a lot less squeezing my hand in tight spaces and probably would've went faster.
I didn't get the Autopal housing til it was too late but the stock (Sylvania XtraVision) sealed bulbs looked a lot better. Seemed to throw the light further. It was dusk on my way home and I could actually see my lights on the pavement. The hi-beams were ridiculous too.
Oh, and they sent me white leds for my shifter lights instead of red. Bastards! Also they aren't smalled than 10mm so I gotta dremel out the hole.

Got a pic of those installed? I don't like my eBay specials, and I'm considering the Hella housings.

I will definitely re-aim when I install the housings. I looked at the Hella housings but it made it just a bit more pricey than I was comfortable with.
