Updated - Question on Crackedback harness install

[hawkeyestoob]

So I am finally wrapping up my leisurely installation of the headlight relay harness that I purchased from @Crackedback on my 67 Belvedere w/ a 318. I want to be certain I am seeing things correctly here for the installation of the 2 remaining leads that run to the alternator.

Is what I have laid out below correct?

I think I sent you instructions via email on Jan 5th.

That exact question I believe is covered in the email text that accompanies the PDF instructions
BOTH those wires are power and go on the charge stud.

Should be good to go with them attached to the charge stud.

You are 100% correct! I see where it says there are 2 power wires to hook up there now. I had it in my head that there would only be one going there and I was getting hung up with seeing the 2 separate wires.

I will get it finished up tomorrow evening and try it out.

Thanks again.

All good and was a frequent question.

Everything fitting up well so far. Nice easy install takes a couple hours. One took all day, but he drank a lot of beer along the way!

I want to once again thank @Crackedback for the wonderful product.

Once I got past my own stupidity with the installation process the results are incredible. In my completely unscientific, in the garage testing, I went from dim and orangeish incandescent lights to bright white halogens. I am confident there will be tangible nighttime driving improvements with this upgrade.

Good to read that the kit improved the quality of light.
Did everything fit up nice and tidy? Feedback about wire lengths is always appreciated.

Occasionally I put both those power wires into one ring terminal, not the norm, still with 2 fuseholders. Red/high, grey/low.
The reason, the two rings provide completely independent power circuits for you headlight. One feeds high beam, the other, low beam. If you have one power lead with one fuse or circuit breaker and it pops, you are dark. With my approach, if the fuse pops, you have a chance to hit the dimmer and go to the other circuit and have power to the lights. One of the little things that separates my product from many other on the market. Redundancy = safety.

User feedback is the best endorsement.

Thanks for the purchase.
