>>Yes, and you saved what ? <<

$56.80 USD to be exact!!!!

In upgrading my headlight circuit(s), I was able to pick up ALL of the parts, including the upgraded bulbs, relays, and relay holders for $44. Frank's listing out at http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hdltrela.htm shows that the cost for those parts would be a bit over $100 (including shipping to US).

Mr. Condelli makes an excellent point.... I did save money but spent a lot of time running around finding the parts, dealing with vendors who I didn't know, and making up my own instructions from the info presented on the internet. And, I didn't get Bosch relays. The outcome is the same but I invested time and burned a few brain cells in the process. If I were not of questionable IQ, I likely would have gone with a well documented kit like Frank's.
