[QUOTE="Strictly Diesel, post: 244528, member: 1411"] My old 7.3L and my 6.0L were both LOW BEAM ONLY kits. I don't remember the first brand, they are long out of business. The 6.0L had a pretty expensive Vision kit. My current truck has a Retro-Solutions Bi-Xenon kit. Now that you mention it, it seems to me that my earliest kit may have had plugs that connected to the headlight connector on both sides (independent, no common harness). We're going back 10 years now, so I'm not 100% sure. I "think" the Vision kit on my 6.0L has separate power and ground and just used the headlight plug for the relay trigger...but I might even be wrong there. What I do know is that when I solved the issues in that truck, the main power and ground were heavy gauge wire, directly to the passenger side battery, and the headlight plug was only used to trigger the relay box (whether it was a relay from Vision or one I put in, I don't remember). I can also tell you that we've done some HID installs in the shop, and I've always gone out and instructed the techs to do them as I detailed above...and we've never had a truck come back with any issues. We do sometimes have to lengthen the harness supplied with the HID kit to make it fit this way, but it's worth the extra effort in the end. [/QUOTE]
